Introduction

Nowadays. Inspite of the vast number of churches and religious activities in our streets and cities, promiscuity is on the high side among our unmarried undergraduates. In the days of our forefathers it was not so. The resultant effect of this degradation among undergraduate has given causes for alarm as they are unable to control their sexual desire. Today, sexual transmitted diseases are virtually in every home. Unwanted pregnancies and illegitimate children have flooded several homes. Given the fact that the target population here is primarily college undergraduates are relevant questions is whether providing contraceptive to undergraduates is socially accepted.
Sex is like electricity which has a tremendous force for good but when electricity runs wild, it is a terrible power for evil. Millions of good undergraduates have a wrong way use of sex, their lives twisted as if lightened have struck them. On the outside they look alright, you might never guess that sexual mistake have almost killed their happiness inside. The negative result of this uncontrollable force needs to be checked by the use of contraceptive. Our undergraduates need to guide against unwanted pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease.
So in this write-up we shall be looking at sexually and contraceptive among college undergraduates.

The significance of the study is to promote further research on these variables with the most potential for predicting contraceptives behaviors, which will assist in the development and implementation of effective prevention and intervention programme especially issues concerning sexually transmitted disease i.e. HIV/AIDS. It does not focus on safer sex practice, rather it is dedicated primarily to reviewing the literature concerning correlates of unwanted pregnancies among undergraduates usually pills and condom use. This will also go along way to make profound contributions to medical issues like family planning, rate of contraception of sexually transmitted disease and effectiveness of contraceptive. More so the findings discussed here may be useful to sexuality experts involved in the development and promotions of safer sex programme. It is envisaged that this research will constitute a meaningful contribution to the ongoing debate on strategies for educating undergraduate on sexuality and contraception and also it will be of major help to the government health care centers, voluntary organizations in effort to reduce sexually transmitted disease. It also seeks to help identify undergraduates who either do not use or misuse contraception means, thereby putting them at the risk of unwanted pregnancies, HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted disease.
