Abstract: Promiscuity presents a complex social and moral dilemma, provoking significant debate within the society of West Sumatra, which is deeply rooted in Minangkabau cultural values and Islamic principles. This research seeks to explore the potential correlation between sexual education and promiscuity within the context of Bukittinggi City in the year 2024. This investigation employs a quantitative approach, utilizing analytical methods within a cross-sectional framework. The study’s population comprised all adolescents residing in Bukittinggi City, amounting to a total of 71,563 individuals, from which a sample of 119 adolescents was selected. This study was carried out in Bukittinggi City in the year 2024. The study employed a non-probability sampling technique, specifically utilizing an accidental sampling approach. The research methodology employed a questionnaire, while the data analysis utilized the chi-square test. The study’s findings indicate a notable correlation between school education and promiscuity (p-value 0.0001), as well as a significant relationship between sexual education at home and promiscuity (p-value 0.0001). Additionally, peer sexual education also demonstrates a significant association with promiscuity (p-value 0.0001). It can be inferred that the interplay between home education, school environments, and peer influences significantly correlates with promiscuity.
