Abstract

The problem of sexuality is a complicated problem for adolescents because adolescence is a period where

a person is faced with various challenges and problems that have an impact on adolescent psychology. The

purpose of this study was to explore the impact of risky sexual behavior on adolescents’ psychological

well-being in the Coastal Area of Rajik Village, Simpang Rimba District. The design of this study is

qualitative with a phenomenological hermeneutic approach. The number of participants in this study was

five participants consisting of three teenagers, one counseling guidance teacher, and one teenager who

became pregnant before marriage. Data collection methods in this study are in-depth interviews and field

notes. Data analysis uses hermeneutic approach1. This study received two main categories, namely: (1) risky

sexual behavior; (2) psychological impact. Adolescents who engage in risky sexual behavior are holding

hands, ever hugging, ever kissing, ever touching sensitive body parts, and having sexual intercourse in the

form of intercourse, besides the psychological effects that occur in adolescents are feeling anxious, afraid,

embarrassed and guilty and sin and consider things normal and natural to do. We encourage further research

to develop a reproductive health education module for adolescents.
