Statement of the problem
This research work is
designed to assess the cause of premarital sex among undergraduate
students of the University of Benin. From my own personal observation, a
walk and a careful survey of the environs of the university community
one would find packs of already used condoms littering the ground, even
though it is not that rampant. It could be possible that these packs was
used as instructional materials or for the primary purpose for which it
was made.
Students lives in community, where they meet people from
different background and as such they are exposed to peer influence and a
desire to meet up with certain standard. All of this and more can
10
lead
to premarital sex which culminates in various problem such as unwanted
pregnancy, exposure to sexually transmitted infections, poor academic
performance, school dropout and a host of others.
All of these
problems associated with premarital sex are preventable or at least the
effect on a large majority of students can be reduced to the barest
minimum. Accessing the causes can help us better understand ways to
prevent and checkmate the occurrence of premarital sex among
undergraduate students of the University of Benin.
Premarital sex,
pose a great threat to the future of the numerous naive students
admitted yearly into the university and also to the name of the school,
because if this act increase various consequences will inevitably follow
and it can grow into becoming a part of the culture among the students,
taking a cue from “arrowing†which means to throw abusive words on
passerby from the flyover just to have fun and make them feel
embarrassed. From this one can see that there is need to carefully
assess
11
the causes of premarital sex among undergraduate students of the University of Benin.
Research questions
In
a view to reaching a meaningful and an objective result/conclusion the
following questions were drawn to guide the research work.
1. Does peer group influence contribute to the occurrence of premarital sex?
2. Do financial gains influence premarital sex?
3. Does curiosity have any effect on premarital sex?
4. Do the media influence the occurrence of premarital sex?
Purpose of the study
The
purpose of this research work is the assessment of the causes of
premarital sex among undergraduate students of the University of Benin. The effect of premarital sex and possible suggestions for preventing or curbing this menace.
This
research work will help school authorities to Identify measures to be
put in place that will help to curb the incidence of premarital sex
among undergraduate students.
