INTRODUCTION: The proportion of young people exposed to pornographic materials
through the internet in Nigeria is increasing. However, the influence of the
exposure on their sexual behaviour has not been fully explored. This study
therefore explored the effects of internet exposure on the sexual behaviour of
young persons in Ibadan North Local Government Area of southwest Nigeria.
METHODS: A survey of 413 young persons was done using a pretested
self-administered questionnaire which included questions on internet exposure and
its influence on behaviour. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics,
Chi-square test and logistic regression. RESULTS: Mean age of males was 21.7 ±
3.4 years while that of females was 20.9 ± 3.2 years. Forty-nine percent of the
respondents used the internet for the first time between the ages of 15-19 years.
Main source of information about the internet was friends (63.3%) and 99.3%
accessed the internet from cybercafé. Seventy-two percent had ever stumbled on
pornographic sites. Reactions included glancing through before closing (45.2%),
closure of the sites (38.5%), and minimizing page to view later (12.5%).
Post-exposure influence on behaviour included engagement in oral sex (48.3%),
body tattoo (18.3%), having multiple sexual partners (11.6%) and homosexuality
(5.0%). More males (95% CI OR =1.245-6.465) and frequent users (95% CI OR
=1.168-3.497) were likely to report a change in sexual behaviour. CONCLUSION:
Internet use was common among the young persons. Interventions aimed at reducing
exposure to sexual content on internet targeting young persons especially the
males and cybercafé operators are advocated.
