Results: Young people who used sexual material online rich media to masturbation (rs =.34), arousal (rs = 29), stimulation (rs = 29), adventure (rs = 30), meeting people (rs =.27), images (rs =.17) and cybersex (rs =.25) showed greater sexual risk behavior for HIV / AIDS (p <.01). The use of sexual material online for masturbation (R2 = 6.4%, F [1,189] = 12.80, p <.001), seeking adventures (R2 = 4.8%, F [1,189] = 9.56, p <.01), meeting people (R2 = 5.9%, F [1,189] = 11.88, F [1,189] = 12.80, p <.001), seeking adventures (R2 = 4.8%, F [1,189] = 9.56, p <.01), meeting people (R2 = 5.9%, F [1,189] = 11.88, p <.01) and have cybersex (R2 = 4.1%, F [1,189] = 8.07, HIV/AIDS.
