Abstract

Objective: To assess multiple facets of attraction to women and men among college students. Methodology: A sample of 150 undergraduates and postgraduates of medicine were approached at random. Participant’s wereprovided with self­administered 23 item questionnaire to assess multiple aspects of attraction to women and men. Statistical analyses were carried out and the findings were discussed by referring to relevant literature. Results: A number of 123 questionnaires were obtained from the participants after having ruled out those who did not give consent and those who filled in the forms incompletely. Physical attractions, emotional attractions and sexual fantasies have a significant positive correlation among themselves. Conclusion: There is a possibility for an individual to experience sexual and/or romantic feelings for multiple people throughout the course of a relationship.
