title: The association between religiosity, sexual fantasy, participation in sexual acts, sexual enjoyment, exposure, and reaction to sexual materials among black South Africans.
abstract: This study investigated the association of religiosity with sexual fantasies, participation, enjoyment, exposure, and reaction to sexual materials of 1,292 first-year university students. Participants who scored higher on the religiosity scale were more likely to report fantasies about heterosexual intercourse but less likely to have participated in heterosexual intercourse and less likely to report enjoyment of heterosexual or lesbian sexual intercourse or oral sex. Participants who were more religious were less likely to have been exposed to almost all types of sexual material and were more likely to disapprove of almost all types of sexual material.
