Abstract

This paper examines the phenomenon of free sexual behavior through the lens of the Health Belief Model (HBM). By applying the theoretical framework of the HBM, we explore the various factors that influence individuals' decisions regarding engaging in free sex. Drawing on the constructs of perceived susceptibility, severity, benefits, barriers, cues to action, and self-efficacy, we analyze how these factors shape attitudes, beliefs, and ultimately behaviors related to free sex. Through a comprehensive understanding of the HBM, we aim to shed light on the complexities of free sexual behavior and provide insights for designing effective interventions and educational programs.
