Cover Story: Online sexual activities refer to Internet-based activities, behaviours, and materials that are sexual in nature. There are at least six groups of OSAs: sexual information, sexual entertainment, sexual contact, sexual minority communities, sexual products, and sexual commerce. Our goal was to contribute to knowledge on positive and negative outcomes of OSAs by exploring young adults’ perceptions of their own outcomes. The results suggest that University/College students from Sweden, Germany, Canada, and the USA perceived a wide range of positive and negative outcomes that fit into seven bi-polar themes: No Outcomes, Relationship Outcomes, Sexual Experience, Emotional Outcomes, Knowledge, Personal Outcomes, and Security. Some of these outcomes are present in past research, some are not; all need to be integrated into future studies and education and health initiatives focused on OSAs. View this paper
