Sažetak
The purpose of this study was to investigate sexual risk behavior among college students and its relation with sociosexuality. Participants: 100 college students. Sociosexuality was measured by the Sociosexual Orientation Inventory. Sexual risk behavior was assesssed with numerous questions about students' sexual experience and attitudes. Just 1% of sexually active students always use condoms, 11% never, and the others occasionally. 62% engaged in sex under alcohol. Students who have an unrestricted sociosexuality have more sexual partners (r = .58 p< 0.01), rank higher possibility of getting STD (r = .45 p< 0.01) and become sexually active early (r = -.37 p< 0.01). „Restricted“ prefer to have an emotional bond with a partner before sex occurs, and more often use condoms and other contraceptives (r = .28 p> 0.01). Further intentions would be to develop useful prevention workshops at the Students' Counseling Centre through which students would become more aware about STD and their own sexual risk behaviour.
