In recent years, adolescents in Taiwan have valued the diverse culture about sexual issues. Studies have shown that peer-to-peer discussion can help adolescents understand the cultural difference in sex-related knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors. However, there is no relevant research about these topics in Taiwan. The study aims to explore the issues among female college students sharing their sex and sexual health-related experiences. We adopted a qualitative research method, gathered data through the focus group, and analyzed it with the content analysis method. The focus group was conducted in the specialized Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) classroom of the collection school on May 10th, 2021, for 80 minutes. Five participating members were first-year female students of a two-year technical school in northern Taiwan. The study results were divided into three main categories: 1. The content and influence of peer-to-peer conversation on sex-related issues. The conversation contents include: (1) The time point and feel of the first sexual conversation with peers; (2) The exploration of sexuality; (3) Sharing sex-related important events and sexual experiences; (4) With whom to talk about sex? Where to talk about sex? The conversation influence includes: (1) Comparing the advantages and disadvantages of premarital sex; (2) Having multiple contradictory thoughts about sexual behavior; (3) The influence of listening to others’ experiences; 2. Sexual attitudes and knowledge in peer-to-peer conversations: (1) The definition of sex and the premise of sexual behavior; (2) Sources of sexual knowledge; (3) Attitude to talk about sexual topics; 3. The rise and use of dating APP software. College students are curious about sexual issues and can get more knowledge and information by discussing those issues with peers. This research expects to help understand content and impact on sex and sexual health-related communication among college students and further provide them with more appropriate sexual health education intervention. |
