Understanding romantic and sexual experiences is highly relevant for reducing stigma and prejudice related to their sexuality. Additionally, comprehending the level of sexual knowledge of PMID contributes to the development of preventive and sexual health education programmes tailored for this group. Our aim is to explore the sexual history (relationships, sexual behaviour, condom use and sexual abuse), sex education received and the level of sexual knowledge of PMID.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Method<\/jats:title><jats:p>The total of 142 PMID completed questionnaires about sexual knowledge and experiences, and their support staff provided additional information. Data were analysed using chi\u2010square test (<jats:italic>\u03c7<\/jats:italic><jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>) and descriptive statistical analysis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Masturbation was the most common sexual behaviour (75.7%), especially among men (<jats:italic>\u03c7<\/jats:italic><jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\u00a0=\u00a05.81, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.05). Sexual intercourse was rare, and only 30.5% reported using condoms. Women reported a higher prevalence of self\u2010reported sexual abuse (27.3% vs. 6% in men). The study also highlighted misconceptions about sexual intercourse risks and contraceptive methods.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The results suggest that PMID need sexual education to ensure healthy sexual experiences and prevent risky behaviour.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jir.13125","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,2]],"date-time":"2024-02-02T09:29:40Z","timestamp":1706866180000},"page":"512-523","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Sexual experiences and knowledge of people with moderate intellectual disability"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"68","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0331-8711","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"V.","family":"Estruch\u2010Garc\u00eda","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Developmental and Educational Psychology, Faculty of Psychology University of Valencia  Valencia Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4985-1327","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"M.
