Results-Adolescent男性贡献了651独特的合作伙伴特定的采访。较高的性健康评分与合作伙伴显着相关,更频繁的口腔生殖器和阴道的性行为,以及更高的安全套使用率,较低的合作伙伴并发性和较低的接收和永久的亲密伴侣violence.ConclusionPositive性相关的经验,在青少年男性有助于核心的性健康,这反过来又与合作伙伴的性风险水平较低。目前的研究数据支持性健康在发展和公共卫生方面的应用,重点是促进健康的性行为和减少风险。来自美国的青少年男性的性健康水平较高,与更频繁地使用避孕套,更低的伴侣并发症和更少的亲密伴侣暴力有关。青年男子锻炼与健康性行为有关的技能,也可以加强与伴侣享受性生活和避免不良性后果所需的技能。
Background Studies link sexual health to lower sexual risk in adolescent women, yet no empirical literature evaluates these associations in adolescent men.MethodsData were drawn from a longitudinal cohort study of sexual relationships and sexual behaviour among adolescent men (n = 72; 14–16 years) in the US. Participants contributed quarterly partner-specific interviews, from which sexual health information and partnered sexual behaviours were drawn. A multidimensional measure of sexual health was constructed and linked to partnered outcomes, including oral–genital, vaginal and anal sex, condom use, partner concurrency and intimate partner violence. Random intercept, mixed-effects linear, ordinal logistic or binary logistic regression were for analyses. Models controlled for participant age, race/ethnicity and relationship length.ResultsAdolescent men contributed 651 unique partner-specific interviews. A higher sexual health score with partners was significantly associated with more frequent oral–genital and vaginal sex, as well as higher condom use, lower partner concurrency and lower received and perpetuated intimate partner violence.ConclusionPositive sexually related experiences in adolescent men contribute to a core of sexual wellbeing, which in turn is linked to lower levels of sexual risk with partners. The present study data support both developmental and public health applications of sexual health, with attention on promoting healthy sexuality as well as risk reduction. Higher sexual health among adolescent men from the US is associated with more frequent condom use, lower partner concurrency and less frequent intimate partner violence. Young men’s exercising the skills associated with healthy sexuality may also reinforce the skills needed to both enjoy sexuality with partners and to avoid adverse sexual outcomes.
