Abstract

This study is a study on the Essence of the sexual experiences experienced by female teenagers during the process of runaway in adolescence. Data collection, analysis, and writing were conducted by applying van Manen’s hermeneutic phenomenology research method, and women between the ages of 20 and 24 who could experience runaway at the age of 13 and 19 and recall their sexual experiences during the runaway process were selected as participants. The study resulted in four major subjects and 14 subtopics. The major subjects were categorized as ‘Continue to have sex that seems to have agreed, but has never agreed’, ‘To be the helpless object of sexual activity’, ‘To suffer in return for struggle for survival’, and ‘No one can believe but still looks for someone’. Female teenagers in runaway situations accepted that they agreed to sexual behavior under situational and psychological pressure while helplessly accepting the other person’s sexual behavior in a situation where they had no place to rely on. It was found that he suffered physical and psychological pain from prostitution chosen for his livelihood and repeated his attempts to establish a close relationship even though it was difficult to trust others. This study is meaningful in that it provided practical basic data for counseling intervention of adolescents who show maladjustment to sexual experience and sex education that meets the needs of adolescents by reflecting on the sexual experiences of early adult women and examining them from multiple perspectives.
