Sexual Behavior among Youth
• Women: almost half of young women have sex by the time they turn 18. And more than one in ten (13%) have sex by the time they are 15.
• Men: Young men start having sex at an earlier age. Sixty percent had sex by age 18, and a quarter had sex by age 15.
The good news: Young people are waiting longer to start having sex than they did 5 years ago.
