Abstract

This paper aims to identify the factors that predict engagement in oral sex amongst young people in Britain using a nationally representative sample from NATSAL II survey. Descriptives and Chi-Squire tests were used to explore characteristics of oral sex behaviour. Resulted set of significant predictors was a subject to analysis that involved a logistic regression to identify the model providing the best fit of indicators. 72% of the total sample across all UK regions reported engagement in oral sex, both in fellatio and cunnilingus. The highest level of engagement in oral sex was found amongst Roman Catholics and Anglicans, the lowest — among Muslims. Engagement in oral sex was predicted by academic qualification, type of source of sex education, alcohol intake, religiosity, and the personal importance of religious beliefs. In light of the increase in HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer in younger Caucasian male patients, this indicates that young people’s sexual health is becoming a matter of high importance for public health.

对hpv相关口咽癌“缓慢流行”的见解:英国年轻人参与口交行为的特征

本文的目的是利用NATSAL II调查中具有全国代表性的样本，确定预测英国年轻人口交行为的因素。采用描述性测验和Chi-Squire测验来探讨口交行为的特征。结果集的显著预测因素是一个主题的分析，涉及逻辑回归，以确定模型提供指标的最佳拟合。在英国所有地区的总样本中，72%的人报告有口交，包括口交和口交。在罗马天主教徒和英国圣公会教徒中，口交的参与度最高，在穆斯林中最低。参与口交是由学历、性教育来源类型、酒精摄入量、宗教信仰和宗教信仰的个人重要性来预测的。鉴于年轻白种人男性患者中hpv相关口咽癌的增加，这表明年轻人的性健康正在成为公共卫生的一个高度重要问题。
