Adolescent males showed declining sexual activity as conservative attitudes and AIDS education increased. Societal factors like fear of AIDS and awareness of teen pregnancy risks also influenced these changes.

Area of Science:

  • Adolescent Health
  • Public Health
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Teenage sexual behavior significantly impacts adolescent pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease (STD) rates.
  • Understanding attitudes and education is crucial for developing effective prevention strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze factors predicting sexual behavior and attitudes among adolescent males.
  • To examine trends in sexual activity, attitudes, and the influence of education over time.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of data from 2,087 never-married metropolitan males aged 17-19.
  • Utilized multivariate methods on data from the National Survey of Young Men (1979) and National Survey of Adolescent Males (1988, 1995).

  • Sexual activity among males aged 17-19 initially rose then fell, while frequency of intercourse increased.
  • Acceptance of premarital sex and preference for supporting a baby over marriage/abortion/adoption also showed shifts.
  • More conservative attitudes correlated with less sexual activity; AIDS education was linked to decreased activity, except in black youths.

Conclusions:

  • Conservative sexual attitudes and AIDS education are key predictors of reduced sexual activity in adolescent males.
  • Broader societal influences, including fear of AIDS and awareness of teen pregnancy/STD consequences, likely drive these changes.
