Survey: 4% have more than one sexual partner A survey on sexual behavior among 609 teenagers aged 16 to 23 found that 13% of teenagers were sexually active, and 4% of them had more than one sexual partner.

Most of the teenagers surveyed have some knowledge about safe sex, such as using condoms, birth control pills, etc. However, there are still 23% of sexually active teenagers who do not take any precautions when having sex. measure.

In an interview, Zhang Sile, Parliamentary Secretary of the Ministry of Social Development, Youth and Sports, said: "What surprises me is that although some teenagers are open about sexual behavior and have good contraceptive knowledge, they still choose to take risks. Not taking any preventive measures is worrying. ”

He said that teenagers can now obtain a large amount of sexual information from the Internet and other aspects, and there is no way to stop it. All we can do is to instill in them the correct ideas. Knowledge about values ​​and sexuality.

He said that the Ministry of Social Affairs, Youth and Sports hopes to cooperate with the Ministry of Education to systematically convey sexual knowledge to students from primary schools to junior colleges and even universities through various activities and courses, including Consequences of premarital sex, etc.

However, he emphasized that parents play a more important role in instilling correct sexual values, and they know best what kind of values ​​they want to convey to their children.

Nowadays, many parents are very active in cooperating with schools in all aspects of their children’s education, and the same should be true for sex education. If parents cooperate with schools, they can provide teenagers with the most comprehensive and complete sex education.

The survey was conducted by Bayer Schering Pharma in partnership with Youth.SG as part of their Responsible Sexual Behavior campaign. The survey results were announced yesterday afternoon at Republic Polytechnic, and Zhang Sile was the guest of honor.

The survey also showed that 74% of teenagers believe that condoms are the most effective contraceptive method to prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. Professor Kuldip Singh, senior consultant at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at National University Hospital, said that although most teenagers know that condoms are the most effective way to prevent sexually transmitted diseases, 26% still think that other methods such as contraceptive pills and in vitro ejaculation are equally effective. Effective, which is worrying.

He said: "Condoms are the only way to prevent HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases, but more than a quarter of those surveyed still don't know."

He pointed out that this may be the reason for the increase in sexually transmitted diseases in this age group. According to media reports in March, 678 teenagers aged 10 to 19 sought treatment for STDs the year before, more than double the 256 in 2001.

As for contraceptive methods, 55% of sexually active teenagers most commonly use condoms, while 23% said they do not use any contraceptive measures. 18%, 8% and 6% chose in vitro ejaculation, ovulation calculation and contraceptive pills respectively.

Codixing noted that the data on condom choice are encouraging, but that adolescents' awareness of the reliability of other contraceptive methods still needs to be improved. Many teenagers still don't know that taking birth control pills is actually the most reliable form of contraception, and using birth control pills in combination with condoms is actually the most reliable.

However, it is worth noting that among the sexually active teenagers surveyed, 36% used contraception every time, and 35% used contraception less than 7 times out of 10. Most teens said they had sex "in the heat of the moment" and therefore didn't always take precautions.

According to data provided by the Ministry of Health, the number of abortions under the age of 20 rose to 1,391 last year from 1,279 the year before, accounting for 11.6% of the total number of abortions.

The number of abortions among under-20s had fallen each of the previous five years, from 1,730 in 2000 to 1,341 in 2004.

In addition to conveying the message of safe sex to teenagers, the organizers also encourage teenagers to stand up for themselves and have the courage to say no to premarital sex.

Teachers and students were surprised by the survey results

13% of the teenagers surveyed were sexually active, which surprised many people.

Two Republic Polytechnic students Chen Yihui (18 years old) and Gao Jiangang (18 years old) who attended the "Responsible Sexual Behavior" lecture were surprised by the survey results and felt that this proportion was quite high.

They believe that since some teenagers have already had sexual intercourse, it is very important to teach teenagers the correct precautions to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.

Junior College teacher Wang Xuying (26 years old) believes that although teachers can persuade teenagers not to have sex before marriage, some students will still choose to eat the forbidden fruit.

She said that the school had arranged lectures on preventing AIDS, including how to use contraceptive measures. Students were very interested and dared to ask questions.

She said: "They may be embarrassed to ask their parents. If such talks are held at school, they will find that other students have the same problem."

However, she also pointed out that some students may " Abuse" this knowledge about contraceptive methods, thinking that as long as you take measures to have sex, it is "safe".

She said: "Therefore, parents and teachers still need to emphasize that choosing to say 'no' to premarital sex is actually the 'safest' option."

Singapore Parent Planning Association (Singapore Parent Planning Association) John Vijayan, a member of the Singapore Planned Parenthood Association who has more than 15 years of experience in tutoring teenagers, said that when the association holds some lectures in middle schools, it will convey knowledge about contraceptive methods to students, but it will also Stress the importance of saying "no" to premarital sex.
