Indians enjoy a fulfilling sex life but get their first formal sex education only around 15 years of age as compared to the West where such lessons start from 12, says a new study.

Though Indians know how to protect themselves from sexually transmitted infections and HIV/AIDS, awareness on how to avoid pregnancy is very low. These are the findings of the “Face of Global Sex 2008 – The path to sexual confidence” survey conducted among 26,000 people in 26 countries to explore the effectiveness of sex education.
