Abstract
Proper sexual functioning provides a sense of well-being and is a significant aspect of quality of life. Enhancing sexual performance has been pursued globally throughout history. This study aimed to determine the knowledge, attitude, and use of sexual enhancement substances among undergraduate students in the College of Health Sciences at Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Nnewi, Anambra State. A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted using self-administered questionnaires distributed to 153 participants between ages 19-23. Data was analyzed with SPSS v26 and associations were tested using Chi-square at p0.05. Results showed 91.5% of participants had heard of sexual enhancement substances, predominantly through social media (43.1%). However, only 29.4% had good knowledge, 37.9% had fair knowledge, and 32.7% had poor knowledge of these substances. Despite low knowledge levels, participants mostly held positive attitudes towards sexual enhancement substances. Only 7.2% reported use, with the most common reasons being to enhance sexual performance and increase erections. No statistically significant associations were found between level of knowledge, attitude, and use. In conclusion, this student population exhibited low knowledge and use of sexual enhancement substances, but held predominately positive attitudes towards them. Further education on risks, benefits, and safe use may be warranted to ensure informed decision making. Additional studies in other populations and regions would provide broader understanding of the use of these substances....
