OBJECTIVES: Our objectives were to evaluate the theoretical knowledge about women's sexuality in a Tunisian population and to compare it according to the participant's gender. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Our study consisted in investigating 55 men and as many women. Those surveyed had answered an anonymous autoquestionnaire comprising items related to woman's body anatomy, foreplay, women's attitudes during sexual intercourse, female orgasm and contraception. RESULTS: Fifty percent of the participants did not manage to reach the level of 50% of proper answers. Men had answered more incorrectly than had women (P<0.001). They had more erroneous answers than women concerning the importance of the knowledge of female anatomy and of the foreplay for the sexual satisfaction in women (P<0.001). Eighty percent thought that the simultaneity of the orgasm was obligatory for the sexual satisfaction of the couple. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Men had more erroneous answers than women, concerning the importance of the knowledge of the female anatomy, by both partners, for the sexual satisfaction of the woman. A good knowledge of the women body and of the importance of foreplays allows one to be conscious of the erotegenic zones and of knowing all the resources, which lead to physical pleasure. Awareness's campaigns contribute to fight against deficiencies surrounding women's sexuality, which would favor the opening out of the woman and the family.
