N2 - The sex identity and sexual behavior of mentally handicapped males and females institutionalized for long and short periods were compared. A relationship between length of institutionalization and sex identity for mentally handicapped males was found but not for mentally handicapped females. Although heterosexual behavior was found to be related to sex identity, it was not related to length of institutionalization and sex of the subjects.
