PlumX metrics:
The trend for early sexual initiation has been growing in most countries of the world, estimated to now to be in the range around 15-18 years. Likewise, in those countries where an orthodox/conventional approach to premarital cohabitation is adopted, sexual initiation also begins earlier. This has resulted in increased rates of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), including HIV infection, and increased risk of unplanned pregnancy. There is, therefore, an ever present need for sex education.
