Prevalence of Internet use among adolescents is high, but little is known about the online sexual activities of German adolescents. This study aimed to describe the 12-month prevalence of German adolescents' online sexual experiences with a focus on Online Sexual Solicitation (OSS, subjectively negative online sexual experiences with a peer or any sexual online experience, positive or negative, with an adult). A sample of male and female adolescents aged 14-17 (N=2238) was recruited using online survey panel. The sample was representative for gender and education. Subjects completed an online survey reporting their online sexual activities (i.e., sexual conversation, exchanging pictures, and cybersex) with peers (14-17y.) and/or adults (≥18y.). Findings illustrated that 51.3% (n=1148) of adolescents had experienced online sexual activity, which mostly involved peers (n=969; 84.4%). In contrast, 23.2% (n=519) of the adolescents experienced OSS with 2.6% (n=57) reporting subjectively negative online sexual interactions with peers and 22.2% (n=490) reporting online sexual interactions with adults, of which 10.4% (n=51) were perceived as negative. The findings suggest that adolescents frequently engage in sexual interactions on the Internet with only a relatively small number perceiving such contacts as exploitative. In addition, females and adolescents with incomplete family situation, foreign nationality, higher education, homo- or bisexual orientation, and those without perceived social support reported OSS significantly more often.
青少年使用互联网的现象非常普遍，但对于德国青少年的在线性活动却知之甚少。本研究旨在描述德国青少年 12 个月的在线性经历，重点关注在线性引诱（OSS，与同龄人或任何性别的成年人的在线性经历，无论积极还是消极，均为主观上的负面在线性经历）。使用在线调查小组招募了 14-17 岁的男性和女性青少年样本（N=2238）。该样本在性别和教育方面具有代表性。被试者完成了一项在线调查，报告了他们与同龄人（14-17 岁）和/或成年人（≥18 岁）的在线性活动（即性对话、交换图片和网络性爱）。研究结果表明，51.3%（n=1148）的青少年有过在线性活动经历，其中大多数涉及同龄人（n=969；84.4%）。相比之下，23.2%（n=519）的青少年经历过 OSS，其中 2.6%（n=57）报告与同龄人有主观上的负面在线性互动，22.2%（n=490）报告与成年人有在线性互动，其中 10.4%（n=51）被认为是负面的。研究结果表明，青少年经常在互联网上进行性互动，只有相对较少的人认为这些接触具有剥削性。此外，女性和家庭不完整、外国国籍、接受更高教育、同性恋或双性恋倾向以及缺乏感知到的社会支持的青少年更常经历 OSS。
