Psychosexual Development of the Blind

摘要

The extent of sexual anatomy and reproductive functions, sources of sexual information, parent reaction to child's sexual behaviors and provision of sex information among blind males and females was assessed, as well as attitudes and needs of their psychosexual development. Overall, blind and sighted adults seemed quite similar in their psychosexual development. The age of initial interpersonal sexual experience was later for the blind than for the sighted. A striking difference between the blind and sighted groups appeared on the sex knowledge questionnaire where the blind groups had more incorrect responses.
