Abstract

Sexual behavior is any behavior driven by sexual desire, either from the opposite sex or with the same sex, some sexual behaviors in detail can be: fantasizing, holding hands, dry kissing, wet kissing, touching sensitive areas, hugging, masturbation, oral sex, petting and intercourse. A preliminary survey showed that street children in Padang Bulan Village, Medan Baru Sub District did not receive education about sexual behavior, from 7 teenagers as the initial sample of the pre-research, 2 teenagers had had sexual intercourse. The purpose of this study was to determine the sexual behavior of street children in Padang Bulan Village, Medan Baru Sub District. This type of research uses a qualitative research approach with a case study technique. Informants as many as 7 people were obtained using the Purposive sampling technique. The results of this study indicate that informants said sexual behavior is people who date in dark places, hug, watch porn, kiss, and even all acts of sexual intercourse like husband and wife. And from this study, it was found that all informants had ever engaged in sexual behavior, and there were 2 informants who had had sexual intercourse like husband and wife which resulted in unwanted pregnancy in the informant's couple. It is hoped that street children will care more about themselves to maintain their physical health, by conducting health checks including tests for STDs, especially if they have unprotected sex. And if you have been exposed to STDs, you should use the right contraception such as condoms to prevent transmission of sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancies.
