Indian men show mixed-up attitude to sex

For a group that has grown up in the land of the Kama Sutra, most young Indian men are a conservative - and often confused - lot when it comes to sex, according a survey last week.

The study of young mens' sexual attitudes published in the India Today magazine showed 63 per cent expected their future wives to be virgins. However, 46 per cent of the men polled said they had had premarital sex, and 47 per cent said sex was very important in their lives. Some 34 per cent said they would have sex "anytime, anywhere".
