A study based on nearly fifty in-depth interviews with Modern Orthodox men and women in Israel showed marked differences between men's and women's educational experiences in the realm of sexuality. While female interviewees often reported that throughout their schooling there were many negative messages about sexuality delivered by teachers and conveyed through the culture, none of the interviewed men reported the same kind of powerful messages in high school. The educational messages and the experiences they inform are powerfully different for men and women who studied in the religious educational system both in Israel and North America.
