ABSTRACT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sex has frequently been used throughout history to influence events, choices, or to gain unfair favouritism or an advantage over people in different social positions. It is possible for people of any gender to use sexual attraction to further their personal status or achieve their desired goals. The degree of success they achieve in doing so may differ based on the dominant standards and beliefs of the community in which they function. Before now, there had been relatively few cases of sexual harassment, sexual coercion, or the trade of sexual favours for academic progress. In fact, it was considered extremely shady for a female student or a male lecturer to spread such information. The rising number of interactions between male instructors and their female students has sparked widespread curiosity, leading some to wonder what the underlying causes of this phenomenon might be. There were 295 responders in all who returened questionnaires for analysis. According to the data, there are 175 females and 120 males. The data indicates that 40.7% of the population is male and 593.3% is female. Of the total respondents, 175 hold the view that female students trade sex for marks, accounting for 59.3% of the total. 120 respondents, or 40.7 percent\u00a0of them, indicated that they agreed that lecturers demand sex as payment for score or marks from students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
