Introdução: Os comportamentos sexuais de risco (CSR) são uma problemática de saúde mundial emergente. Objetivos: Procurou-se explorar as relações entre o consumo de substâncias antes do ato sexual, regulação emocional (RE), busca de sensações sexuais (BSS), utilização de aplicações de encontro (UAE) e CSR, através de uma metodologia quantitativa e transversal. Método: A amostra teve um total de 366 participantes, entre os 18 e os 35 anos, que preencheram o Women’s Health Questionnaire, a Escala de Dificuldades de Regulação Emocional (DERS), a Sexual Sensation Seeking Scale (SSSS) e um questionário com questões utilizadas por estudos prévios sobre a UAE. Resultados: Verificaram-se diferenças na RE, BSS, UAE e CSR em função do sexo, entre consumidores de álcool/substâncias antes do ato sexual e não consumidores e entre utilizadores de aplicações de encontro e não utilizadores. Adicionalmente, encontraram-se relações entre o consumo de álcool/substâncias antes do ato sexual, a RE, a BSS, a UAE e os CSR. Conclusões: A BSS, o consumo de álcool antes do ato sexual, o número de parceiros (seis meses) e o número de atos sexuais entre utilizadores de aplicações de encontro são preditores significativos da não utilização de preservativo. As habilitações literárias, a idade de início da atividade sexual e o número de parceiros sexuais (seis meses) são preditores significativos do consumo de álcool antes do ato sexual. A BSS e a idade de início da atividade sexual são preditores significativos do consumo de substâncias ilícitas antes do ato sexual. Em suma, torna-se claro o elevado nível de relação que estas variáveis estabelecem entre si e a necessidade de serem integradas em programas de prevenção.
Introduction: Sexual risk behaviors (SRB) are an emerging global health issue. Objectives: The aim of this study was to explore the relationships between substance use before sex, emotional regulation (ER), sexual sensation seeking (SSF), use of dating apps (UAE) and RSC, using a quantitative, cross-sectional methodology. Method: The sample consisted of 366 participants aged between 18 and 35 who completed the Women's Health Questionnaire, the Difficulties in Emotional Regulation Scale (DERS), the Sexual Sensation Seeking Scale (SSSS) and a questionnaire with questions used in previous studies on UAE. Results: Differences were found in SR, BSS, UAE and CSR according to gender, between alcohol/substance users before sex and non-consumers and between users of dating apps and non-users. In addition, relationships were found between alcohol/substance consumption before sex, ER, SSS, UDA and RSB. Conclusions: BSS, alcohol consumption before sex, number of partners (six months) and number of sexual acts among dating app users are significant predictors of condom non-use. Educational attainment, age at onset of sexual activity and number of sexual partners (six months) are significant predictors of alcohol consumption before sex. BSS and age at onset of sexual activity are significant predictors of illicit substance use before sex. In short, it is clear that these variables are highly related to each other and need to be integrated into prevention programs.
