The study examined peer influence, parenting, socioeconomic status, and social media as predictors of sexual promiscuity among youths in tertiary institutions in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. The study adopted the descriptive survey design of correlational type. Multi-stage sampling technique was used in this study. Data was collected using (Parental Socioeconomic Status Scale α = .89; Parentings and Dimensions Questionnaire α =0.79; Peer Influence α =0.78; Social Network Usage Questionnaire α=.84). Peer influence (r = .264; p<0.05); Parenting (r = .272; p<0.05) and social media (r = .223; p<0.05) had a significant relationship with (sexual promiscuity) but social economic status (r = .023; p<0.05) was not. Social media made the most significant contribution (β = .156; t= 2.572; p<0.05). The study concluded that there is a predictive and positive relationship between peer influence, parenting, social media, and sexual promiscuity among youths in tertiary institutions.
