A survey of 180 students in selected secondary schools in Ibadan showed that viewing influenced their sexuality knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP). The paper argues that exposure to home movies affect young people's life aspiration as higher viewership (95.6 percent) corresponds with high negative sexuality response (93.3 percent). Accondingly, the media teach 87 percent of student about girl-friend/boy-friend relationships,expose 82 percent to sexual relationships, arose 85 percent and encourage premarital sex among 53 percent students.While entertaining,the media provide information that teenagers use to construct their sexuality, having far reaching heaith implecations.
