Fenomena Perilaku Seks Pranikah di Kalangan Remaja Pandangan Immanuel Kant

Abstract

Premarital sex is a sexual activity carried out by people before entering into a marriage relationship. Moral teachings must be applied to teenagers in order to influence behavior and help individuals make the right decisions and be able to regulate human life to act responsibly to avoid premarital sex. This research discusses: (1) the phenomenon of premarital sex among teenagers, (2) the factors that cause premarital sex among teenagers, and (3) the views of Immanuel Kant's moral philosophy on premarital sex among teenagers.

In analyzing this problem, we used phenomenological theory and ethical theory. The methods used to collect data are literature study, document study, interviews, and online data search. The collected data was analyzed using qualitative methods with steps to reduce data, present data, and draw conclusions or verify data. The analysis technique used in this research is descriptive analysis technique. The determination of informants in this research was carried out deliberately on the basis of the researcher's knowledge and beliefs based on certain objectives using the side snowball technique.

The results of the research show that the phenomenon of premarital sex among teenagers among women and men who have had premarital sexual relations is that 59% of women and 74% of men reported starting to have sexual relations for the first time at the age of 15-19 years. The highest percentage occurred at the age of 17 years as much as 19%. Among teenagers who have had sexual relations, 12% of women reported experiencing unwanted pregnancies and 7% of men reported having unwanted pregnancies. Factors that cause teenagers to engage in premarital sex include: 1) dating status, 2) lack of parental role in sexual education and supervising their teenage children's activities, 3) influence of peers who engage in premarital sex, 4) exposure to pornographic content in the mass media, and 5) lack of knowledge about sexuality among teenagers. The handling efforts made to handle cases of premarital sex are through sexual education which is delivered comprehensively and involves the active role of teenagers to become peer counselors, while school counselors can provide counseling services, one of which is using a cognitive approach. The view of Immanuel Kant’s moral philosophy is that Kant believed that treating others as complete human beings was the key to being moral, but for him, this was precisely what was missing in sexual desire. This means that in sex we treat other people as objects and do not treat them as full human beings so we act immorally.
