Abstract

Free sex behavior is sexual activity conducted outside of marriage, considered as a social problem for the community and at risk of transmitting the disease. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between age and knowledge of junior high school students "X" against the occurrence of free sex. This is an analytic observasional study with cross sectional approach. We collected data from 146 respondents aged 11-19 years. Data was analyzed using chi-square statistic test with α = 0,05. The study was conducted on junior high school students "X" in Purwakarta Regency Indonesia. The results showed that there was a significant correlation between age with the occurrence of free sex (p = 0,000), but there was no significant correlation between knowledge (p = 0,250) with the occurrence of free sex in junior high school students "X". The research shows that as many as 7.54% of junior high school students "X" claimed to have sexual intercourse. We concluded that there is a correlation between the age of junior high school students "X" with the occurrence of free sex, but there is no significant relationship between the knowledge of the students SMP "X" with the occurrence of free sex.
