Özet

The purpose of this research was to determine the attitudes of social work students in Turkey toward sexuality. According to the findings, gender differences, talking about sexuality, and having an active sex life, affect liberality about sexuality. Religious beliefs have a significant impact on attitudes, and our data show that Turkish social work students were relatively sexually inexperienced and conservative. However, they were more accepting and liberal for others' sexual preferences than for their own.
