This study examined the masturbatory experiences and other sexual activities of young Korean males in military service. The actual status of masturbation and its relationship to sexual activity questionnaire. A total of 1,212 young males among military personnel in Korea were interviewed with sexuality questionnaires on masturbation, sexual intercourse and personal characteristics. We divided these subjects into four groups according to the age of initiation of masturbation and analyzed the relationship between masturbation and other sexual activities. The mean age of subjects was 22.03 +/- 1.22 (19-27) years. The percentage of men who reported ever having masturbated was 98.1% (1189/1212) and the average age of initiation of masturbation was 14.26 +/- 1.66 years. So we divided 1,212 males into four groups on the basis of the average age below and above one standard deviation. Overall, 67.7% (821/1212) had experienced sexual intercourse, and significantly, the earlier the initiation age of masturbation, the higher the coitus rate in each group (p < 0.05). About 21.5% of the men who were not virgins had experienced their first sexual intercourse with prostitutes. The mean age of first coitus, the incidence of sexually transmitted disease (STD) and the frequency of masturbation were closely linked to the initiation age of masturbation, respectively (p < 0.05). A masturbatory guilt feeling was seen in about 10.9% (132/1212) and there was no significant difference according to the types of religious worship (p = 0.227). On the basis of this study, sexual activities generally increased accordingly as the beginning of masturbation was earlier. Coital incidence in this study was 67.7% for young males in Korean military service, and 21.5% of them had their first sexual intercourse with prostitutes. Prostitution still plays an important role in the sexual lives of males in Korea. The incidence of STD was over 10% and homosexual manifestation was seen in 1.07% of subjects. Thus a proper and sound sex education at school during childhood is needed in Korea. A large scale survey of sexual behavior in various populations is essential for the improvement of correct sexual concepts.
本研究调查了韩国年轻男性军人的自慰经历及其他性活动。通过自慰及性活动调查问卷了解自慰的实际情况及其与性活动的关系。对韩国军队中的1212名年轻男性进行了关于自慰、性交及个人特征的性取向问卷调查。我们根据开始自慰的年龄将这些受试者分为四组，并分析了自慰与其他性活动之间的关系。受试者的平均年龄为22.03±1.22（19 - 27）岁。报告曾自慰过的男性比例为98.1%（1189/1212），开始自慰的平均年龄为14.26±1.66岁。因此，我们根据平均年龄低于或高于一个标准差将1212名男性分为四组。总体而言，67.7%（821/1212）有过性交经历，且显著的是，每组中自慰开始年龄越早，性交率越高（p < 0.05）。约21.5%非处男的男性与妓女有过首次性交经历。首次性交的平均年龄、性传播疾病（STD）的发病率及自慰频率分别与自慰开始年龄密切相关（p < 0.05）。约10.9%（132/1212）的人有自慰罪恶感，且根据宗教崇拜类型无显著差异（p = 0.227）。基于本研究，随着自慰开始得越早，性活动总体上相应增加。本研究中韩国年轻男性军人的性交发生率为67.7%，其中21.5%与妓女有过首次性交经历。卖淫在韩国男性的性生活中仍起着重要作用。性传播疾病的发病率超过10%，1.07%的受试者有同性恋表现。因此，韩国需要在儿童时期在学校进行适当且健全的性教育。对不同人群的性行为进行大规模调查对于改善正确的性观念至关重要。
