Abstract
The study investigated the relationship between peer pressure, pornography and attitude to premarital sex
among adolescents in Lagos State. Two research hypotheses guided the study. 250 randomly selected
participants from selected senior secondary schools in Lugos State formed the sample size. A 25 item
researcher-made questionnaire titled Peer Pressure, Pornography and Attitude to Premarital Sex (PPPAPS)
was used for data collection. The data collected were analysed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation.
The findings indicated that peer pressure and pornography exert significant relationship with attitude to
premarital sex among adolescents. Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended among others
that sexuality education should be compulsorily incorporated into the school curriculum so as lo teach
adolescents healthy sexual behaviours early in life.
