Abstract
This is a preliminary report of a study to learn the extent and accuracy of blind adolescents’ knowledge about human sexuality and their attitudes about sexual behavior. The interviews with 18 males and three females cover sources of sex education, sex-related words, sources of advice about sexual problems, and idiosyncratic theories about masturbation, sexual inadequacy, and origins. Also described is a recently launched Human Sexuality Opinion Survey (questionnaires have been sent to 2,000 parents, teachers, houseparents, and others involved in the education of blind persons) intended to gather information about attitudes toward sex education programs for blind children in general and about the methods and content of such programs in particular.
