Early intercourse and self-esteem linked in adolescent behavior

double standard for sexual activity, said Dr. Zimet. Early sexual activity for boys apparently is not considered as socially unacceptable as it is for girls.

The researchers said that since early initiation of coitus among girls is associated with greater susceptibility to human papillomavirus infection and other sexually transmitted infection, they determined that more prevention programs aimed at delaying the age of first intercourse are essential.

The lead author was Jennifer M. Spencer, Ph.D., who completed a pre-doctoral traineeship in Adolescent Medicine at Indiana University School of Medicine and is currently program director at Hamilton Center in Spencer, Ind.

The research was supported, in part, by grants from the National Institutes of Health and the Maternal and Child Health Bureau.
