Abstract

BACKGROUND

The internet has opened up new avenues for sexual exploration, including online sexual activity (OSA), which is becoming increasingly common among young adults globally. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence, patterns, and associated factors of OSA among final-year students in Osun State University, Nigeria.

METHODS

A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out among 436 undergraduates. Respondents were selected via a multistage sampling technique; a semi-structured self-administered questionnaire was used for data collection and analyses. Online sexual activity was measured with the Internet Sex Screening Test (ISST) and pertinent analyses were done at univariate, bivariate and multivariate levels using SPSS V20.0.

RESULTS

The prevalence of OSA was 58.7%, It is more common among males (53.1%) than females (46.9%), 73.4% of the undergraduates were mildly involved, and none was severely involved. Factors associated with OSA include biological sex, dating, smoking and/or usage of substances exposure to pornography from childhood, religiosity and family functioning. Further analysis showed that males are three times more likely to be involved in OSA compared to females (AOR= 3.104, p<0.001, CI-1-936-4.977). Those dating are two and a half times more likely to be involved in OSA (AOR= 2.491, p<0.001, CI- 1.589-3.905). Also, those who smoked and/or use other substances or are exposed to pornography from childhood as well as those who have a low level of religiosity are more likely to be involved in OSA.

CONCLUSION

OSA was prevalent among final-year students, particularly among males and those dating. The association between substance use and OSA among young people is not likely to be an unstable one and both are increasingly available to them, with the almost inevitable possibility that increased usage of substances may tilt many into severe or addictive online sexual activities. Thus, targeted enlightenment/ education on OSA and on substance use is recommended for undergraduates.

摘要

背景

互联网为性探索开辟了新途径，包括在线性活动（OSA），这在全球年轻成年人中越来越普遍。本研究旨在调查尼日利亚奥孙州立大学最后一年学生中 OSA 的流行率、模式和相关因素。

方法

对 436 名本科生进行了描述性横断面研究。通过多阶段抽样技术选择受访者；使用半结构化自我管理问卷进行数据收集和分析。在线性活动使用互联网性筛查测试（ISST）进行测量，并使用 SPSS V20.0 在单变量、双变量和多变量水平上进行相关分析。

结果

OSA 的患病率为 58.7%，男性（53.1%）比女性（46.9%）更常见，73.4%的本科生轻度参与，没有人严重参与。与 OSA 相关的因素包括生物性别、约会、吸烟和/或使用物质、从童年开始接触色情制品、宗教信仰和家庭功能。进一步分析表明，男性参与 OSA 的可能性是女性的三倍（AOR=3.104，p<0.001，CI-1-936-4.977）。约会的人参与 OSA 的可能性是女性的两倍半（AOR=2.491，p<0.001，CI-1.589-3.905）。此外，那些吸烟和/或使用其他物质或从童年开始接触色情制品以及宗教信仰程度较低的人更有可能参与 OSA。
