Öz:
İnsan yaşamındaki biyo-psiko-sosyo-kültürel ve teolojik faktörler, cinsellik konusunda belirleyici etmenler oldukları için bireyin cinsel duygu, düşünce, tutum ve davranışları üzerinde oldukça önemli bir etkiye sahiptir. Dolayısıyla din hala bireylerin cinsellik hakkındaki düşüncelerini ve tutumlarını belirleyen önemli bir yordayıcı olarak görünmektedir. Bu araştırmanın amacı, nitel veriye dayalı olarak çeşitli ülkelerin milletlerinden farklı dinlere inanan ve inanmayan bireylerin, belirlenen alt temalardan oluşan cinsellik hakkındaki kişisel algılarını analiz etmektir. Bu çalışmadaki nitel veriler, yorumlayıcı fenomenolojik analiz tekniği kullanılarak çözümlenmiştir. Katılımcıların deneyimlerini, bilişsel değerlendirmelerini ve anlam oluşturma yöntemlerini incelemeyi amaçlayan adı geçen bu teknik, nitel verileri analiz etmek için sistematik bir yol sunmaktadır. Nitel bir veri toplama metodolojisi ve stratejisi olarak katılımcıların cinsellik hakkındaki kişisel görüşleri, araştırmacı tarafından oluşturulan açık uçlu bir anket kullanarak Birleşik Krallık’ta hem yüz yüze hem de web tabanlı anket uygulaması yoluyla toplanmıştır.
