Attitudes and behavior of college students relative to oral-genital sexuality.
A survey was conducted to determine college students' attitudes toward and behavior relative to oral-genital sexuality. Information concerning attitude and behavior was elicited through the use of an equal-interval attitude scale and a behavior inventory. Responses from 91 students were analyzed. Results of the study indicated that more favorable attitudes toward oral-genital sexuality were expressed by students who had participated in the specific behavior and by students who had experienced sexual intercourse. Attitude toward receiving oral-genital contact was found to be dependent on church attendance. Men were more likely than women to have received oral-genital contact, and students who had participated in sexual intercourse were more likely to have both administered and received oral-genital contact. Receiving oral-genital contact was dependent on church attendance. Women were more likely than men to require love as a prerequisite for their participation in oral-genital contact.
