College Students may Not Let Tipsy Female Pals Engage in Risky Sex

by Kathy Jones on August 30, 2010 at 9:00 PM Sexual Health News

College students are less likely to let their female friends engage in risky sexual behaviour after a night of drinking alcohol, a new study has revealed.

The study examined how and why college students protect their friends who have been heavily drinking.

Three quarters of the study's participants reported that they would not take risks when it comes to making sure a female friend is safe while under the influence of alcohol.

Participants said they would persuade a female friend not to go home with a new male acquaintance or that they would make sure she got home safely.

The participants reported using three distinct communication strategies to prevent their female friends from going home with strangers after a night of drinking alcohol.

Firstly they highlight the regret associated with that behaviour.

Participants said they would remind their friends about the negative health and social consequences associated with going home with someone. These include getting pregnant, developing a bad reputation, and regretting their decision in the morning.

Secondly they use trickery or deception.

Students hold the belief that drunken friends can be easily distracted or exploited.

To remove their friends from a risky situation, the participants said they would trick their friends by taking them to get food, or putting them into a cab to go home, instead of going to the male acquaintance's place.
