Sexuality in Bangladesh

Sexuality in Bangladesh is primarily influenced by religion and culture. The culture in Bangladesh is predominantly conservative and patriarchal. Several topics, including sex education, romantic relationship, and sexual behavior are considered taboo.[1][2][3][4] Over the years, the perception towards a very few taboos have changed, such as sex education is now somewhat taught in high schools though in a conservative way.[5]
