To provided initial descriptive information regarding adolescents' engagement in oral sex and to investigate adolescents' perceptions of their best friends' sexual behavior and peer-reported popularity as two social mechanisms that may influence engagement in oral sex.
A total of 212 tenth graders reported their engagement in oral sex and intercourse, number of sexual partners, and use of sexually transmitted infection (STI) protection, as well as perceptions of their best friends' sexual behaviors. Sociometric assessment yielded peer-reported measures of adolescents' preference- and reputation-based popularity.
Adolescents were more likely to report engagement in oral sex than intercourse, report more oral sex partners than intercourse partners, and were unlikely to report use of STI protection during oral sex. Perceptions of best friends' behavior were significantly associated with adolescents' own oral sex behavior, but not intercourse. Adolescents who reported sexual activity had high levels of reputation-based popularity, but not likeability among peers; however, sex with more partners was associated with lower levels of popularity.
Implications for prevention programs are discussed.
提供有关青少年口交行为的初步描述性信息,并调查青少年对其最好朋友的性行为的看法以及同伴报告的受欢迎程度这两种可能影响口交行为的社会机制。
共有212名十年级学生报告了他们的口交和性交行为、性伴侣数量、性传播感染(STI)防护措施的使用情况,以及对其最好朋友的性行为的看法。社会测量评估得出了基于同伴报告的青少年基于偏好和声誉的受欢迎程度指标。
青少年报告口交行为的可能性高于性交行为,报告的口交伴侣比性交伴侣更多,并且不太可能报告在口交时使用性传播感染防护措施。对最好朋友行为的看法与青少年自身的口交行为显著相关,但与性交行为无关。报告有性活动的青少年基于声誉的受欢迎程度较高,但在同伴中并非受喜爱程度高;然而,与更多伴侣发生性行为与较低的受欢迎程度相关。
讨论了对预防项目的启示。
