Brief Summary

No study was found in the literature examining the effects of sexual health education on sexual myths and self-consciousness. The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of sexual health education on sexual myths and self-consciousness in women.

Detailed Description

Sexual myths can be defined as false, stereotyped judgments that individuals believe to be true about sexuality, are generally exaggerated, have no scientific basis, and limit the freedom to live sexuality. Sexual myths are widely seen in society and can vary between cultures and societies, and even between individuals. Especially in closed-structure societies, these myths are increasingly widespread by being passed down from generation to generation. Sexual myths can cause people to have unrealistic expectations, feel inadequate due to these expectations, and feel anxious. As a result of all these, sexual dysfunctions can occur, and the treatment process can be negatively affected in people with sexual dysfunction. If sexual self-consciousness, that is, sexuality, has not yet been discovered as a personal area, if the person's idea of what to expect from sexual contact is shaped by myths, their sexual health may deteriorate. It is known that the most important factors that pave the way for sexual myths are lack of sexual education and information, the inability to openly discuss and discuss issues related to sexuality within the family, schools or society, and the inability to benefit from sufficient scientific research and publications.
