SANABRIA MAZO, Juan Pablo; JIMENEZ SIERRA, Juliana; PARRA BLANDON, Katherine e TORDECILLA CASALLAS, María Alejandra. Influence of religion in decision making about sexuality in practicing catholic students. Divers.: Perspect. Psicol. [online]. 2016, vol.12, n.2, pp.231-242.

This qualitative phenomenological research aimed to understand the influence of religion in decision making about sexuality in practicing Catholic students. The selected sample consisted of eight men and women, four men who had already started their sexual life and four that had not. In-depth interviews were analyzed using Atlas.ti. Motivations for not starting having sex were associated with love for God and not converting their relations into a sexual act, while those who had started their sexual life had motivations associated with exploration and spiritual maturity. Participants who had not started their sex lives were against artificial contraception and perceived them as elements that promoted only sexual satisfaction. Religion seemed to influence the motivations of students to start having sex
