Exposure to pornographic material has been linked to sexual aggression perpetration and victimization in a large body of research. Based on social learning theory and 3A theory of script learning, this study contributes to this research by testing the hypothesis that the more realistic pornography is perceived to be by young adults, the more likely they are to experience and engage in sexual aggression. Two underlying pathways were proposed: one path via scripts and patterns of sexual behavior regarding consensual sexual interactions that contain established risk factors for sexual aggression victimization and perpetration, and a second path via the acceptance of sexual coercion. In a cross-sectional study, 1181 university students in Germany (762 female; 419 male) completed measures of pornography use and perception, risky sexual scripts and sexual behavior, and acceptance of sexual coercion. As predicted, pornography realism was a positive predictor of risky sexual scripts, risky sexual behavior, and acceptance of sexual coercion. Indirect links with sexual aggression victimization and perpetration were found via both pathways. No gender differences in the associations were found. The implications for media literacy interventions addressing the realism of pornography are discussed.

Introduction Despite, risky sexual behavior behaviors adversely affect the health of youth people, youth has been start sexual lives during teenager is increasing, thus youth has been engaged in risky sexual behaviors. However, almost all the previous studies are institutional based and did not considered out school youth. Therefore, this community based study among youth was implemented to identify sociodemographic determinants of risky sexual behaviors among youth. Methods The community based cross-sectional study design was conducted from March 15 to April 15, 2019, among youths. Data were extracted from data collected for project on assessments of common health problem and risky behaviors in central, north and west Gondar zone, Northwest Ethiopia. A bivariable and multivariable logistic regression model was fitted. Adjusted odds ratio with 95% confidence interval were used to determine the presence of an association between independent variables and risky sexual behavior. Results The overall prevalence of risky sexual behavior was 27.5%, 95%CI: (25–29). Age 20–24 years (AOR = 1.8,95% CI:1.3–2.5), female (AOR = 1.6,95%CI: 1.2–2.1), had no formal education (AOR = 1.9,95% CI:1.1–3.4), not schooling during data collection year (AOR = 1.8,95%CI:1.3–2.6), family wealth index status; lowest (AOR = 2.3,95%CI:1.3–3.9), low (AOR = 2.1,95%CI:1.2–3.5), medium (AOR = 1.9,95%CI:1.2–3.0) and high (AOR = 1.8, 95%CI:1.1–3.0), having common mental disorder (AOR = 2.0,95% CI: 1.4–2.7), and watching pornography materials (AOR = 1.6, 95%CI: 1.2–2.1) were factors associated with risky sexual behaviors. Conclusions Findings of this study revealed that one every four youths aged 15–24 years old had risky sexual behaviors. Hence, working on economic development of the family and prevention of violence can contribute to reducing risky sexual behavior among youths.

Abstract Background: World Health Organization has documented many health risks and complications secondary to unprotected sexual activity among adolescents. Even though the impact of risky sexual practice on the general health of adolescents is enormous, little attention has been given on identification and intervention plans. Therefore, the aim of this study was to find magnitude of risky sexual behavior and associated factors among adolescents in high schools at Aksum town, Tigray, Ethiopia. Methods: we conducted a facility-based cross-sectional study at Aksum town. A systematic random sampling technique was applied. Data was collected with face to face interview and analyzed using statistical package for social science version 22. we have done bivariate and multivariate logistic regression. Adjusted Odds ratio at a p-value <0.05 with 95% confidence interval was taken to declare statistical significance. Result: A total of 644 students were participated with a response rate of 97.7%. Prevalence of risky sexual behavior was found to be 17.2%. Factors like poor social support [AOR=5.59, 95% CI: 2.71-11.53], living out of family [AOR=1.93, 95% CI: 1.21-3.07], experiencing parental neglect [AOR=1.87, 95% CI: 1.18-2.94] and drinking alcohol [AOR=2.55, 95% CI: 1.55-4.20] were statistically associated with risky sexual behavior. Conclusion: An alarming proportion of adolescent students have participated in risky sexual behavior. This can significantly affect health quality in the community and the country at large. Factors, like having poor social support, living out of the family, experiencing parental neglect and using alcoholic beverages are risk factors that increase the odds of risky sexual behavior among adolescent students.

This two-wave longitudinal study examined risky sexual scripts and sexual behavior regarding consensual sexual interactions, sexual self-esteem, initiation assertiveness, and religiosity as predictors of sexual aggression perpetration in a cross-cultural comparison of college students in Chile and Turkey. As predicted, risky sexual scripts were linked to higher odds of perpetration through more risky sexual behavior cross-sectionally in both the Chilean and the Turkish sample and indirectly predicted perpetration 12 months later. High sexual self-esteem increased the likelihood of perpetration via higher initiation assertiveness in the Turkish sample only. High religiosity reduced the odds of perpetration through less risky sexual scripts and less risky sexual behavior in both samples. In addition, high religiosity increased the probability of perpetration through lower sexual self-esteem in the Turkish sample. Implications of these findings and the role of cultural factors contributing to the differential functioning of religiosity and sexual self-esteem are discussed.

Abstract The aim of this study was to identify family factors determining risk sexual behavior among students aged 12- 18 in Veliko Turnovo region. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2014. Three hundred and ten students were included in a representative sample of students attending seven schools in Veliko Turnovo region. The respondents filled in a self-administered questionnaire, designed to collect data on family interactions, acts of sexual coercion, parental social status and their influence on the sexual behavior of the students. Data were processed using SPSS.v.19. Parametric and non-parametric statistical methods were applied. About one-fifth of the students were nurtured in incomplete families. History of a sexually transmitted diseases correlated with type of family (p<0.05). Poorer family interactions (rare family dinners and no conversations about sex) determined acts of risk sexual behavior - accidental contraceptive use during sex and postponing an obstetric examination (p<0.05). Students reporting sexual coercion had also had frequent casual sexual intercourse (p<0.05). Identifying family factors is of essential importance in planning effective sexual health education at school.
