摘要：It is fascinating to teach sexual medicine to medical studentswho are the torch bearers of future medical practice andrender much needed service to public. Sex and sexuality havealways been a subject of assumptions, myths, andmisconceptions that have attracted more taboo in the societyand people for generations have hesitated to talk. It is indeeda paradox for a country like India, where ancient templesexplicitly depicted sexual postures and for hundreds of years,sex was considered as sacred. Unfortunately, in recent timesthe discussion related to sex attracts more resentment. It hasbeen observed that understanding and skills of medicalstudents in dealing with sensitive issues like rape, child sexualabuse, and homosexuality are grossly lacking.
