A sex survey by Uni-versiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) has found an alarming number of sexually active secondary school students with multiple sex partners.Wow, this issue needs to be tackled immediately through proper sex education and counseling. Great thanks to UTM for carrying out such survey.
“We carried out the research in 2011 among 1,000 secondary school students (aged 15 to 17) in 50 schools statewide.
“About 10% admitted they had sexual intercourse and some admitted to having intercourse with multiple partners,” said UTM Education faculty lecturer Faizah Abd Ghani, who headed the research.
She added students who took part in the research also admitted practising “friends with benefits” (friends with sexual relationships without emotional attachments).
