CALIDAD DE RELACIÓN CON LOS PADRES Y CONDUCTAS SEXUALES EN ECUATORIANOS
Journal Title: Revista Científica Retos de la Ciencia - Year 2019, Vol 3, Issue 6
Abstract
Given the importance of sexuality in the daily life of every human being and the notable risks associated with precocious sexual activity, such as sexually transmitted diseases and undesired pregnancy, it has become increasingly important to understand human sexual behavior and its development, beginning with infatuation and ending in coitus, and the links between these sexual behaviors and the quality of primary family relationships. The present investigation is based on a sample of 6,862 secondary students (55.2% men; 44.8% women; 15-20 years old) from twenty-one public and private secondary schools in Quito and Machala, Ecuador, and utilized a self-designed questionnaire to measure the quality of the adolescent-parent relationship and the frequency of various sexual behaviors. In general, males demonstrated more precocious sexual behavior. At 15 years of age, 65.5% had already watched pornography and more than half (60.2%) had already engaged in sexual intercourse (the statistics for females were 17.4% and 21.5% respectively). For females, it was not until 18 years of age that more than half reported having had sexual relations (61.5%). In females, living with parents and having a good self-perceived relationship with them were protective factors both in regards to pornography use and delaying sexual relations. For males, living with their mother was the only protective factor found, and only with regards to delaying sexual relations. Neither living with parents nor the self-perceived quality of the adolescent-parent relationship had any significant effect on the statistics for falling in love.
