abstract = {The aim of this study was to explain the masturbation frequency and sexual relationships
in adolescents based on age, religious adherence, erotophilia, attitudes toward sexual fantasies and
masturbation, and the traditional sexual double standard. A sample of 1120 Peruvian adolescents
aged 13–17 years responded to a socio-demographic questionnaire and different scales about sexuality.
The frequency of masturbation and sexual relationships, as well as in the sexual attitudes evaluated
differed by sex, with boys scoring higher. The masturbation frequency was explained by erotophilia
in boys, and by positive attitudes toward sexual fantasies in both sexes. The frequency of sexual
relationships was explained by age and positive attitudes toward sexual fantasies in boys and only by
the latter in girls. Positive attitudes toward sexual fantasies stand out as a variable for understanding
sexual activity in adolescents.},
