从文化的角度来看，性活动正在日益改变。青少年对这些做法的了解可能是提高青少年对涉及风险的做法的认识的基础。本研究旨在评估坦桑尼亚未婚青少年的性行为。对坦桑尼亚五个地点 10 至 19 岁的在校和失学但未婚青少年进行了一项横断面调查。使用调查问卷来收集信息并描述这些青少年的性行为特征。大约 32% 的青少年表示性活跃；男性比例高于女性。唯一被询问和报告的性行为包括阴道性交、手淫、口交和肛交。大约 15% 的性活跃青少年表示拥有多个性伴侣。报告拥有多个伴侣的男性明显多于女性。近 42% 的性活跃青少年表示在最近的性行为中使用了安全套。女性在第一次性行为时报告了年长的伴侣。青少年经历多种性行为，包括插入式和非插入式。据报道，性活跃的男性多于女性。尽管青少年报告有多个性伴侣，但在最近的性行为中使用安全套的比例很低。我们主张采取更加强的生殖健康教育方法，其中包括对青少年进行更安全的性行为，同时也不要忘记在学校的青少年。
Sexual activities are increasingly changing from the cultural point of view what they used to be. Knowledge of these practices among adolescents may be a basis to create awareness among adolescents on practices that involve risks. This study aims to assess sexual practices among unmarried adolescents in Tanzania. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among in-school and out-of-school but unmarried adolescents aged 10 to 19 in five locations in Tanzania. A questionnaire was used to collect information and to characterize sexual practices among these adolescents. About 32% of adolescents reported being sexually active; a higher proportion being males than females. The only inquired and reported sexual practices include vaginal sex, masturbation, oral and anal sex. About 15% of sexually active adolescents reported having multiple sexual partners. Significantly more males reported having multiple partners than females. Nearly 42% of sexually active adolescents reported having used a condom during most recent sexual act. Females reported older partners at first sexual act. Adolescents experience several sexual practices that include penetrative and non-penetrative. More males reported being sexually active than females. Despite adolescents reporting having multiple sexual partners, reported condom use during the most recent sexual act was low. We advocate for a more enhanced approach of reproductive health education that includes safer sex to adolescents without forgetting those in-schools.
