ABSTRACT
This literature review examines the attitudes toward sexuality among Indian youth aged 18–25, contrasting rural and urban settings. Drawing from studies conducted over the past 15 years, it explores factors influencing sexual attitudes, including education, digital exposure, gender norms, and cultural taboos. The review highlights disparities in sexual knowledge, behaviors, and access to sexual health resources between rural and urban youth, emphasizing the need for culturally sensitive interventions. The findings are essential for informing policy, educational reforms, and health initiatives targeting Indian youth.
