NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Nearly two-thirds of young
Indian men expect the woman they marry to be a virgin,
but nearly half have had sex with prostitutes,
according to a poll.
The survey of more than 2,500 men aged between 16 and
25 conducted by India Today magazine across 11 cities
found that 49 percent claimed to have had sex with a
sex worker while 37 percent said they had had a
homosexual experience.
But 63 percent of young men in conservative India said
they expected the women they married to be a virgin.
The average age of their first sexual encounter
appears to be falling -- to 18 years from 23 in a
similar survey two years ago, but condom use is on the
rise, the report said. More than half of the men
surveyed said they always used a condom.
Fourteen percent of those surveyed said they had had
sex with a member of their own family.
