    Generational controversy on sexual activity in the context of the AIDS epidemic: evidence from Lagos
    (Canberra Australian National University, Australia, 1999) Babatola, O; Adegbola, O
    This paper focuses on the generational debate on sexual behaviour within the context of vulnerability to HIV infection. It operationalizes the generation concept against Nigeria’s historical background and seeks variations in the patterns of selected sexual variables between and among generational groups. It appears that divergency in sexual behaviour along generational lines is not as strong as some scholars have suggested

    Marital closeness and the likelihood of extramarital sex: a comparative analysis of Lagos and Freetown
    (Canberra Australian National University, Australia, 1999) Adegbola, O; Babatola, O
    The relationship between inter-spousal intimacy and the tendency to suspect partners of sexual infidelity is analysed using data from Lagos and Freetown. The relationship between the practice of extramarital sex and the same set of intimacy variables is also analysed. The particular circumstances of the two cities may have affected the relevance of the intimacy variables in explaining the variations in the incidence of extramarital sex.

    Premarital and extramarital sex in Lagos, Nigeria
    (Australian National University, 1999) Adegbola, O; Babatola, O
    In view of the need for information on which to base future interventions on sexual behaviour, this paper examines AIDS awareness and perception, as well as sexual practices among the metropolitan population of Lagos, Nigeria. There is a fairly high but recent level of awareness of AIDS and some scepticism about its incurability. Some high-risk premarital and extramarital sexual patterns are observed. These show the importance to the study of inter-spousal intimacy as well as two other contextually-relevant variables. (author's) Language.
