Abstract

Risky sexual behaviors are a major threat to the physical and social health of young people. Due to the global epidemic of sexually transmitted infections, the prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases in the field of risky sexual behaviors and safe sexual relations is of particular importance. The research method was descriptive-correlational and the method of this research was structural equation model and the data were analyzed by SPSS25 and Smart PLS3 (pls3). The statistical population of the present study includes all parents of social network users who are both men and women. Married students of Tehran Azad University had at least one child. 50 students were selected by stratified random sampling method and a questionnaire was completed and collected from them. The results of the analysis showed that there is a significant relationship between the use of social networks and sexually transmitted diseases due to high-risk behavior and its sub-components such as (violent sex, homosexuality, sexual perversion, sexually transmitted disease, sexual infidelity, masturbation). There is, that is, with the increasing use of social networks where sexual content is exchanged, sexually transmitted diseases due to high-risk behaviors increase. There is a significant relationship between using social networks with higher frequency to find sexual partners and the risk of sexually transmitted diseases.
