The youths\' perceptions of sexuality in the Limpopo Province of South Africa
Abstract
This study was a qualitative, exploratory and descriptive study, conducted in the Vhembe District Municipality of the Limpopo Province in four selected villages. The purpose of the study was to explore and describe the views of young people regarding sexuality. Data were collected from October 2004 to January 2005 using focus group discussions,
key-informant interviews, semi-structured interviews and observation. Young people\'s views about sexuality were centred around heterosexual sexual intercourse and the prevention of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), prevention of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), use of contraceptives, performance of sex, activities that take place during intercourse for example touching, kissing and penetration by the man\'s penis, making babies and use of condoms.
