Abstract
This study investigated the relationship between peer pressure and female students’ sexual promiscuity. The study was guided by three research questions and hypotheses. Using a correlational method of ex-post facto research design, a total of 1,566 female students were sampled from universities across Delta Central Senatorial District. Questionnaire was the instrument used for data collection. The questionnaire was adequately validated by experts and factor analysis while the reliability was estimated and found adequate. Regression statistics was used to analyse the data. The result revealed that peer pressure can predict sexual promiscuity and that while age can moderate the relationship between peer pressure and sexual promiscuity, location does not. The study recommended that adolescents should be properly guided by parents, guardians and significant others on the choice of friends so that the wrong choice of friends will not be exposed to sexual promiscuity.
