Abstract

The aim of this research is to analyze the narrations about influential factors in sexual misconduct of adolescents and youths and preventive strategies. In this research, using hermeneutic and investigational method, the verses of the Holy Quran and narrations of the infallibles concerning educational methods of preventing sexual misconduct in adolescents and youths have been analyzed.
In religious texts, in order to prevent sexual misconduct and nurture healthy sexual behavior among children and adolescents, the parents are given some directions. In these directions, special attention is paid to two main categories of factors: domestic and environmental (societal and cultural). The first category of directions consists of covering behavior in the family, speech chastity and not using of absurd sexual expressions to express anger toward children or spouse, separating bedrooms, special attention and care toward curiosity of children and adolescents toward sexuality and purifying the living environment of sexual stimuli. The second category of directions consists of purifying the school environment, maintaining healthy relations with friends without breaking the norms, socio-cultural supervisions in reading magazines, watching satellite channels, surfing Internet, and purifying the society of unhealthy role models that can impact the healthy sexual growth of children, adolescents, and youths.
