Question

Why has the clinical field been slow to investigate possible cultural and racial differences in sexual behaviors?

Answer 1

Most of the developments, both science and technology and medical takes place in the developed countries then they would be slowly marketed to other developing and underdeveloped countries. People from developed countries have almost the same culture as against the developing and underdeveloped countries who mostly have collective culture. It's only recently that the medical community has started considering racial and cultural differences in their research due to the increased amount of people moving from different parts of the world as the result of globalisation. It's not only the medical and technology world that were restricted to the Western thoughts but this also influenced the developmental psychologists who didn't consider the racial and cultural differences while framing their theories. So, it's high time that the clinical field start getting deep into the cultural and racial differences when treating and examining sexual behaviours.
