%X This study examines sexual identity and orientation of Woman in Turkey. Sexuality is a subject that has been handled with clinical studies around the world for contemporary years. Research on sexuality is limited and mostly based on myths in Turkey. Therefore, this study is considered to provide useful sources on sexuality since it was conducted in Kayseri, a typical Anatolian Turkish city. Women¡¯s sexuality has been dealt with in the context of the Sexofunctional Theory of Fran£¿ois de Carufel, which focus on sexuality in a holistic approach. According to this theory, human sexuality is a structure that includes physical integrity, sexual functioning, sexual and social communication dimensions. 120 female patients agreed to participate in this study. Participants were selected through the purposive sampling technique. Semi-constructed questionnaires were utilized for data collection. The items on the questionnaire were prepared by researchers based on previous research papers. The results revealed that female sexuality starts with interactions during their adolescence and continues as a sexual partnership in adulthood. Participants were found to be open minded about sexual behaviors with their spouses. However, it has been seen that women should have more knowledge in topics such as sexual functioning, autoerotism, the influence of social norms on sexuality
