Abstract

This study examined how Japanese adolescents use sexual information sources and explored the relationship between these information sources and images of sex. I conducted secondary data analyses on the data from the 6th Waves of Japanese Adolescents' Sexual Behavior Survey, which was originally conducted in 2005. The results showed that personal characteristics are related to the types of sexual information sources and ways of choosing them. They also showed specific sexual information sources in terms of the types and usage (with or without other information sources) are related to images of sex. Although further exploration and utilization of advanced statistical methods are needed, this study affirmed the importance of considering various key information sources (e.g., Internet, other media, and people sharing close relations, such as friends and parents) for clarifying the approaches for sexual education. With deeper understanding of such sexual information sources and their influence on adolescents, more effective and appropriate approaches can be strategized for the development of sound sexual attitudes yielding healthy sexual behavior.
