Mixed research approaches with the help of sequential exploratory research design were opted to accomplish the study. The researcher employed questionnaires, interviews, focused group discussion and documentary review in gathering data. It was found that, majority of the secondary school students are accessing and using technological sexual explicit materials. The findings of this study revealed that about (46.7%) of students agreed to accessing and using technological sexual explicit materials, while 33.3% strongly agreed to have used technological sexual explicit materials. This study further found that, 50 (46.3%) of students agreed that most students have been affected academically by viewing pornographic materials. Also, teachers were found to possess negative perception on students who watch pornographic materials at school and at home. Based on these findings the study recommended for various measures to be taken to prohibit various technological Medias that enable students to have access and use technological sexual explicit materials. This study suggest that this could be achieved by enacting a law for pornographic materials and making sure that various technological materials including websites which contain technological sexual explicit materials are secured from students to accessing them. Likewise the study recommends that, all stakeholders need to cooperate in taking care of youths in the society including providing them with lessons on social ethics. Thus, the government under the ministry responsible needs to strengthen the subjects at school that give student social ethics on how to behave in the community and have fear of God.ensexual explicitly materialpornographysocial mediainternetThesis
