“…Unplanned pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases are two major reasons young people avoid having sex [19,20]. According to previous research, 54.6% of Korean college student participants answered that they do not use contraception, and only 31.9% answered that they always do [21]. The low use of contraception among Korean youths is the greatest contributor of the increase in unwanted pregnancies or abortions and the rise in the risk of sexually transmitted infections [22,23].…”

This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Korean version of the perceived costs and benefits scale (K-PCBS) for sexual intercourse to deepen our understanding of the complex psychosocial and interpersonal elements influencing young people’s sexual decision-making. The study participants were 227 college students in South Korea aged 18–25 years. Two factors were extracted through factor analysis, accounting for 61.05% and 58.18% of the variance for perceived costs and perceived benefits, respectively, and showed a good model fit in the K-PCBS. Reliability was high, as indicated by Cronbach’s alphas of 0.87 and 0.84 for the perceived costs and perceived benefits subscales, respectively. The results indicate that the K-PCBS may serve as an appropriate instrument for measuring South Korean youth’s cost and benefit analysis regarding their sexual decision-making. Our study makes a significant contribution to the literature and field because it identifies the underlying feelings and attitudes of young adults toward engaging in sexual activities using the K-PCBS for sexual intercourse, which has good reliability, validity, and internal consistency.

“…At present, there are many Western reports on factors influencing coital frequency among men. The factors considered include anthropometric parameters, 14 , 15 , 16 education level, 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 marital status, 22 age, 10 and social status. 23 Despite important achievements, questions regarding sexual life are still mostly neglected during routine medical consultations.…”

Introduction There are many Western reports on factors influencing coital frequency among men. However, no articles could be found about the factors influencing sexual activity among Chinese men. Aim The aim of this study was to identify the factors that influence the coital frequency of Chinese men. Main Outcome Measures The main outcome measures included self-reported monthly coital frequency, age, occupation, education level, andrology-related scales and dietary habits. Methods Data for 1,407 men aged 18–79 years were collected in the Health Management Center of the Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from January 2019 to May 2019. The respondents completed the questionnaires independently or with the help of an interviewer (who read or explained the questionnaires to them) to analyse the factors that influence coital frequency. Results In the previous 6 months, the sample had a mean monthly coital frequency (±SD) of 4.34 ± 3.18. Univariate logistic regression results indicated that the number of children ( P = 0.004), IIEF-5 scores ( P <0.001), EHSs ( P <0.001) and frequency of milk consumption ( P = 0.001) were associated with more frequent sexual activity. These statistical associations did not change after further adjustment for age, occupation, and reproductive history. We observed that the frequency of sexual activity showed an increasing trend with a greater number of children, higher IIEF-5 scores, higher EHSs and greater frequency of milk consumption (test for trend, P <0.05). Both univariate and multivariate analysis results indicated that the frequency of sexual activity decreased with increasing age (test for trend, P<0.001). Conclusion The coital frequency of Chinese men is associated with erectile function, anthropometric parameters, age, occupation, and dietary habits. Xiang Y, Peng J, Yang J, et al.
