Intercourse debut age: Poor resources, problem behavior, or romantic appeal? A population‐based longitudinal study

The most important predictors of early intercourse debut are reported to be poor social resources and early developing problem behaviors. In this study we have a new, additional emphasis on variables related to self‐concept and social acceptance. In a population‐based longitudinal study, 1,399 Norwegians were followed over a 7‐year span. We analyzed data using multivariate Cox regression techniques. Early intercourse debut was part of a broader spectrum of problem behaviors, including early alcohol intoxication and early‐developing conduct problems. A new finding was that a positive self‐concept in the domain of “romantic appeal” was also a strong predictor, but only for boys. We suggest that the findings may have important implications for prevention and more research should be conducted along this line.
