在世界範圍內,首次性交的平均年齡現在介於17-18歲之間,並且在一些西方國家,這個年齡甚至低許多。這個平均年齡的準確統計資料在國與國之間有差異,但是,存在向低年齡發展的趨勢。在上個世紀50年代,首次性交的平均年齡仍舊是21歲左右,不過始終在降低。60年代避孕藥的引入和70年代的“性革命”恰好又加強了這種下降的趨勢。我們必須牢記全世界的女孩和男孩都在越來越早的年齡就進入了青春期,而且在許多國家,結婚的年齡一直在往上提升。換一個角度說,這就意味著年輕人不大可能等到結婚之後才開始發生性交。考慮到這一點,現時的統計資料幾乎不會令人感到吃驚。

World-wide, the average age of the first sexual intercourse now lies between 17 and 18 years, and in some Western countries it is much lower. The exact figures vary from one country to another, but there is a general trend towards an earlier start. In the 1950’s, the average age of first coitus was still around 21 but already then began to fall. The introduction of the contraceptive pill in the 1960’s and the “sexual revolution” in the 1970’s only reinforced this tendency. One also has to keep in mind that all over the world both girls and boys reach puberty at an ever earlier age, and that in many countries the age of marriage keeps going up.
This means, among other things, that young people are less likely to wait until they are married before they begin sexual intercourse. In view of this, the current statistics are hardly surprising.
