Résumé
Cet article s’intéresse aux tendances du comportement sexuel des adolescents. Un de ses principaux objectifs est de décrire les comportements sexuels des élèves francophones de la 9e à la 12e année des écoles rurales et urbaines de la Division scolaire franco-manitobaine (DSFM). On y présente également les tendances du comportement sexuel des jeunes de 15 à 19 ans au Canada ainsi que des motifs plausibles des comportements sexuels chez les adolescents. De plus, d’autres aspects, tels que le contrôle des parents et les conséquences néfastes associées aux comportements sexuels, sont abordés afin de mettre en perspective et d’illustrer quelques composantes de la sexualité à l’adolescence. Dans l’ensemble, les résultats de l’enquête en milieu francophone minoritaire au Manitoba indiquent que 76 % des répondants disent n’avoir jamais eu de relation sexuelle avec pénétration.
Abstract
This article examines sexual behavioural trends among adolescents. One of its primary objectives is to describe the sexual behaviours of French-speaking students in grades 9 through 12 in the rural and urban schools of the Division scolaire franco-manitobaine (DSFM). Also addressed are the sexual behavioural trends among youth aged 15 to 19 in Canada, along with plausible explanations for sexual behaviours among adolescents. In addition, other aspects of this issue, such as parental control and harmful consequences associated with sexual behaviours, are examined for the purpose of providing perspective and illustrating some elements of adolescent sexuality. The overall results of the survey among Manitoba’s French-speaking minority indicate that 76% of respondents say that they have never had sexual intercourse involving penetration.
