Abstract
Sixty-three single, male, sophomore medical students volunteered to respond fully and sincerely to a 352-item questionnaire covering approximately the same topic areas described in the Kinsey Report. In addition to describing their own sexual behavior, the respondents, constituting a 57% sample of those invited to participate, indicated how they believed the average college man and woman would respond. The subjects displayed a generally conservative attitude and appeared to believe that a double standard of sexual morality for men and women still exists. Comparisons among the students' descriptions of their own sexual activities, those they believed were true of others, and Kinsey's data did not indicate that (1) their sexual behavior was constricted; (2) they were concerned about their sexual potency; or (3) they were naive and uninformed about sexual behavior.
