The Sexual Knowledge, Experience, Feelings and Needs of People with Mild Intellectual Disability.

Subjects with mental retardation had less knowledge, more negative attitudes toward sexual issues, and less experience in intimacy and sexual intercourse, but more experience in pregnancy, masturbation, and sexually transmitted diseases.
