Perceptions and attitudes toward sexual norms: key insights from the International Society of Sexual Medicine Young Researchers Committee survey.
Review in Sexual medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Sexuality is a complex aspect of human life, and the perception of sexual normality may vary across genders, religious beliefs, and other aspects. Aim: To report preliminary findings of a pilot survey on sexual attitudes, behaviors, and individual perception of sexual normality in a contemporary cross-cultural scenario. Methods: A 48-item survey was developed by the Young Researchers Committee (YRC) on behalf of the International Society for Sexual Medicine (ISSM) to collect data on cross-cultural perceptions and attitudes toward sexual norms. The survey consisted of questions related to sexual attraction, behavior, identity, orientation, and subjective perception of sexual normality. Data were collected via five translated versions across five countries (Italy, United States, Brazil, Spain, and Japan) and analyzed to investigate how cultural norms, personal experiences, and social expectations shape individuals' views on sexual normality. Outcomes: The primary outcome was to assess gender-based differences in sexual behaviors, satisfaction, religious beliefs' impact, pornography use, and anatomical perceptions. Results: This pilot study included 3423 respondents [63.5% female, 36.2% male; median (IQR) age 39 (30.00, 50.00) years]. Of all, active sexual life was reported by 83.3% participants, with 58.8% expressing satisfaction with their sex life. Heterosexual orientation was predominant (90%), with significant differences in distribution between genders in terms of sexual orientation ( Clinical Implications: Our findings shape the development of sexual education, fostering inclusivity, equity, and sexual health for overall satisfaction. Strengths and Limitations: Possible biases associated with different modalities throughout data collections and with different linguistic and cultural weights given the cross-sectional nature of the pilot survey. Conclusion: Current preliminary findings from the pilot survey developed by the ISSM YRC start shedding lights on perceptions and attitudes toward sexual norms, and gender differences in sexual behaviors and satisfaction.
