ABSTRACT
This research delves into Perceived Factors influencing sexual immoralities among College of Health Technology in Offa, Kwara State. Utilizing a descriptive research design with a focus on the specified college, the study outlines four specific objectives. The literature review, combining conceptual and empirical perspectives, enhances a comprehensive understanding of the issue. Data collection involves 85 randomly chosen students responding to questionnaires, with analysis utilizing frequency and simple tables for clarity. Peer influence emerges as a significant factor, impacting perceptions and behaviors related to sexual immorality among female students, as acknowledged by 84% of participants. Family dynamics also play a role, with 52% linking family structure stability to the likelihood of engaging in sexual activities. Fear of judgment influences decisions for 69% of participants, and 55% admit to using sexual activities as a coping mechanism influenced by peers. Divergent opinions on the impact of sex education are revealed, with 46% expressing disagreement about its potential to lead to immorality.
