Risky sexual behaviour among the youth of South Africa / kabomo mabel MolefeMolefe, Kabomo Mabel January 2013 (has links)
Background: Risky sexual behaviour among the youth of South Africa is one of the
major health concerns in the country because it is associated with negative
reproductive health outcomes such as high teenage pregnancies and exposure to
sexually transmitted infections including HIV/AIDS.
Objective: The main objective for this study is to examine the factors influencing
risky sexual behaviour among the youth in South Africa in order to make
recommendations for strategies that would help reproductive health programmes in
planning.
Data and methods: The research uses data from the 2003 South African
Demographic and Health survey. The study population comprised of 4597 female
youth aged 15-34 years old. Bivariate analyses and multinomial logistic regression
were used to determine the factors affecting risky sexual behaviour among the youth.
The factors that were significant in the multiple regression models were regarded as
the most important variables associated with risky sexual behaviour.
Results: Out of 4597 female youth, 114 (2.5%) had low risk sexual behaviour, 2112
had medium risk sexual behaviour and 278 had high risk sexual behaviour. The
results revealed that risky sexual behaviour varies by background variables. Risky
sexual behaviour increases with age, is higher among urban than rural youth i higher
among youth with secondary education than youth in other educational categories. In
addition, the results showed that risky sexual behaviour vary according to province of
residence. The highest risky behaviour was observed in Kwa-Zulu Natal (22.7%) and
Western Cape (21.5%). whereas North West and Eastern Cape (5.1% and 3.9%)
respectively, had low risky sexual behaviour. The multi-nominal analyses indicate
that having a radio and marital status were significant) associated with risky sexual
behavior), [OR=1.23, Cl=l.23]
Conclusion: The study concludes that policies and programmes designed at reducing
risky sexual behaviour among the youth should continue be supported and
encouraged. Since having a radio is associated with low risky sexual behaviour. it is
suggested that messages encouraging the youth on safe sex by use of condoms, reduce
number of sexual partners, avoid receiving money or gifts in exchange of sex should
continue to be reinforced through radio. Furthermore, parents should also be taught
through a radio on how to educate their children to practice safe sex. Finally, the
results show that there is still need for further research on risky sexual behaviour
among the youth. Future research should, among other things focus on strategies to
delay sexual debut among the youth, the role of parents and good cultural practices. / Thesis (M.Soc.Sc.(Population Studies) North-West University, Mafikeng Campus, 2013

The relationship between gender roles and sexual satisfaction in heterosexual relationships /Marchese, Sara January 1992 (has links)
This study explores the interactive effects of stereotypical masculine and feminine personality traits and attitudes upon individual and dyadic sexual satisfaction. It was hypothesized that (a) sexual satisfaction would be positively related to masculinity and femininity, as defined by the presence of instrumental and expressive qualities, for both males and females, (b) sexual satisfaction would be positively related to androgyny for both males and females, and (c) couples consisting of two androgynous partners would be more sexually satisfied than couples where both partners were sex-typed (i.e., masculine male-feminine female), cross-typed (i.e., feminine male-masculine female) or undifferentiated. The sample consisted of heterosexual married and cohabiting couples (N = 93). Subjects completed the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale (MCSD; Crowne & Marlowe, 1960, cited in Robinson, Shaver & Wrightman, 1991), the Short Bem Sex Role Inventory (BSRI; Bem, 1981), the Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS; Spanier, 1976, 1989) and the Pinney Sexual Satisfaction Inventory (PSSI; Pinney, Gerrard & Denney, 1987). The first hypothesis is rejected for both males and females, the second hypothesis is supported for males and rejected for females, and the third hypothesis is supported for couples. Instrumentality is negatively correlated with sexual satisfaction, particularly for women, while expressivity is positively correlated with sexual satisfaction for both men and women. Androgynous men and feminine women are more sexually satisfied than any other group; in both cases however, it is suggested that increments in expressivity account for increases in sexual satisfaction. Androgynous couples are more sexually satisfied than sex-typed, cross-typed, and undifferentiated couples; however, self-reported sexual satisfaction varies for individual partners. Implications for the existing androgyny model regarding sexual satisfaction are discussed.

Oral sex, feminism, and implications for sex educationMalacad, Brea L 11 1900 (has links)
In order to provide comprehensive sexual health education, it is important for teachers and health care professionals to understand trends related to adolescent sexual practices. Anecdotal reports over the past decade indicate that oral sex is becoming an increasingly common and casual activity among adolescent females. to investigate the validity of this claim the author set out to study the oral sex behaviours and related attitudes of Canadian young women. A total of 181 women (ages 18-25 years) completed two anonymous self-report questionnaires: one to gather data about intercourse and oral sex experiences, and the other to assess degree of identification with feminist ideology. Analysis revealed that oral sex and intercourse are equally prevalent among young women and that the two behaviors have similar emotional implications. However, as compared to intercourse, women tend to regard oral sex as less intimate and are significantly less likely to use protection against sexually transmitted infections when engaging in oral sex. The findings indicate that there is no significant relationship between oral sex and feminism, but that some women find fellatio empowering. Trends related to sexual activity as well as implications for school-based sex education programs are discussed. / Psychological Studies in Education
