Abstract:Objective To understand the current status of sexual attitude and sexual behavior and the current effect of sex education among college students in Wuhan City, and to provide references for conducting sex education among students in colleges and universities. Methods With a random cluster sampling method, questionnaire surveys were conducted among 593 students from first- to fifth-grade in a college in Wuhan City from July to October 2019, and the main contents of the survey included the general information, the status of popularization of gender health knowledge and other sex education, and the current situation of sex life. Results The college students’ attitude towards premarital sex was more tolerant, 80.04% of them approved or did not refuse premarital sex, and boys’ acceptance of premarital sexual behavior was significantly higher than that of girls (P<0.05). 16.69% of the students admitted to have had pre-nuptial sexual activities, and the incidence rate of premarital sexual behavior and the proportion of multiple sexual behavior were both higher in boys than in girls (both P<0.05), of which 9.09% had experienced accidental pregnancy and miscarriage (themselves or sexual partners), without statistically significant differences between boys and girls (P>0.05). 15.85% of the students admitted that they had experienced involuntary sexual contact, mainly including classmates, parents and other acquaintances, showing a statistically significant difference between boys and girls (P<0.05). 87.35% of the students learned sexual knowledge from the Internet and other media resources. At present, the main problem existing in sex education in China is that colleges do not attach importance to it. And most of the students agree that their colleges should actively carry out scientific and systematic sex education, such as sexual physiology, sexual hygiene and prevention of sexually transmitted diseases. Conclusions The students from the college in Wuhan City are more tolerant of premarital sexual behavior, but lack knowledge of sexual safety and other related health education. All departments of the college should actively carry out comprehensive and scientific sexual health education according to the needs and psychology of college students at the present stage.
