Purpose The present study aimed to understand the existing smartphone usage pattern among late adolescents and their association with the development of adolescent male sexuality. Demography: Medical, dental, and allied health sciences male students of Asian origin, aged between 18 and 19 years. Study Settings: Medical university in Mangalore, an urban area in the South Indian State of Karnataka. Methodology: This institution-based cross-sectional study. A pre-validated semi-structured questionnaire (Google form) was electronically mailed to all participants willing to participate in the study, and responses were collected after collecting the informed consent from each participant. Analysis: Data analysis was done using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 25.0. Armonk, NY: IBM Corp. The influence between smartphone usage and sexuality development was done using the Chi-square test and independent-sample t-test. A p-value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Findings: Half of the late adolescents have PSU, living with family being a protective factor for PSU. Friends and media remain among the leading sources for raising awareness about male pubertal changes. Pornographic content is accessed through smartphones.

“…Moreover, Latina/os typically have more restrictive attitudes about sex than non-Latina/os (Eisenman and Dantzker, 2006), which appear to differ across generational status depending on the specific sexual attitude in our study (see Table 1). Attitudes for Latina/o youth who are more exposed to US dominant cultural norms may be influenced more by the dominant culture than is the case for those with less 10.3389/fpsyg.2022.897311 exposure (Scull and Malik, 2019;Blanc, 2021), who may be more aligned to attitudes of their cultural heritage.…”

et al. 2022

ObjectiveThis study examined differences and identified developmental predictors of oral, vaginal, and anal intercourse initiation across generational status among Latina/o adolescents of both genders. More specifically, we compare generational status and gender differences in the longitudinal predictions from parent-child sex communication and dating behaviors to sex initiation 5 years later, and how these associations may be mediated by perceived peer norms, intentions, and attitudes regarding sex among Latina/o adolescents.MethodsUsing prospective longitudinal data from the Healthy Passages™ project collected in Houston and Los Angeles, Latina/o girls (n = 879) and boys (n = 885) who were identified as 1st- (18%), 2nd- (58%), or 3rd (24%)-immigrant generational status reported on their dating behaviors and parent-child communication about sex at 5th grade (M age = 11.12 years), their perceived peer norms and attitudes regarding sex at 7th grade (M age = 13.11 years), and if they had initiated oral, vaginal, or anal sexual intercourse by 10th grade (M age = 16.06 years).ResultsThird-generation Latina girls were more likely than 1st- and 2nd-generation Latinas to have initiated sexual intercourse by 10th grade. More advanced dating behaviors in 5th grade had a positive association with sex initiation for all generational status groups among Latino boys, but only among 1st-generation Latina girls. Moreover, mediating decision-making processes of peer norms and attitudes differed for each group.ConclusionPre-adolescent dating behaviors are associated with long-term differences in adolescents’ sexual behaviors, which may point to targets for prevention efforts. Acculturation differences may contribute to different ways in which adolescents decide to engage in sexual intercourse based on the previous dating experiences.

“…To uncover the essence of such processes, we should turn to the aesthetic and cinematic generalizations of a number of Western researchers (Freeman, 2015;Kawin, 2012;Lawrence, 2016;Och, 2015;Staiger, 2015;Scull & Malik, 2019), exploring various aspects of the functioning of artistic images of American horror films in modern popular culture. At the same time, the study of the ideology of discipline of educational spaces in cinema and, in particular, in the tradition of American horror films is still presented extremely fragmentary (Cole & Bradley, 2016;Walker, 2016).…”
