To establish the prevalence of "dry sex" practice in a South African periurban population. To investigate the reasons for and factors influencing the practice of dry sex and to evaluate dry sex practice as a risk factor for sexually transmitted disease (STD).
Cross sectional sample survey.
A random community sample of men and women aged between 16 and 35 in Gauteng Province, South Africa, were interviewed regarding the practice of dry sex using a structured interviewer administered questionnaire.
Dry sex practices were reported by 60% of men and 46% of women. Among younger individuals dry sex practice is far more common among the less educated, but there was no significant difference between education groups in the older respondents. A higher proportion of men practising dry sex than not practising dry sex reported having a past history of STD infection (56% versus 41%) although this difference was only marginally significant (p = 0.05). There was no difference in reported history of STD between women who practised dry sex and those who did not.
This study shows that dry sex practice is common in this community. The younger less educated group were the most likely to practise dry sex. Dry sex practice was associated with an increased prevalence of self reported STDs in men but not in women.
确定南非城郊人群中“干性性行为”的流行情况。调查干性性行为的原因及影响因素，并评估干性性行为作为性传播疾病（STD）风险因素的情况。
横断面抽样调查。
采用结构化访谈问卷，对南非豪登省16至35岁的男性和女性社区随机样本进行关于干性性行为的访谈。
60%的男性和46%的女性报告有干性性行为。在较年轻人群中，干性性行为在受教育程度较低者中更为常见，但在年龄较大的受访者中，不同教育程度组之间没有显著差异。有干性性行为的男性中报告有性传播疾病感染史的比例高于没有干性性行为的男性（56%对41%），尽管这种差异仅具有微弱的显著性（p = 0.05）。有干性性行为的女性和没有干性性行为的女性在报告的性传播疾病史方面没有差异。
本研究表明干性性行为在该社区很常见。受教育程度较低的年轻群体最有可能进行干性性行为。干性性行为与男性自我报告的性传播疾病患病率增加有关，但与女性无关。
