Adolescents whose sexual drive is growing during their teenage years don’t find proper ways to fulfill their sexual desires. Therefore, they should manage this drive through selecting appropriate strategies. The current paper aimed to offer some religious health-related physical and behavioral strategies parallel to experimental evidences in order to help adolescents manage their sexual drive and behaviors.
Method: In line with the purpose of the study, Islamic resources (the Quran and Hadith) and experimental studies were systematically searched. Physical and behavioral factors related to sexual drive/ behavior were extracted and organized into two groups of sexual drive/behavior amplifiers or reducer. All ethical issues were taken into account. Furthermore, the authors declared no conflict of interests.
Results: In total, forty nine factors affecting sexual drive/behavior were collected from the studied resources. The main portion of these factors were relatred to nutrition, nutrients and nutritional behaviors. Physical activities, personal hygenic behaviors, smells and colours were the other affecting factors.
