Early sex education in relationship to later coital and reproductive behavior: evidence from Jamaican women
EB Brody, F Ottey and J Lagranade
In a group of 150 working-class Jamaican women, lack of information from
their mothers about sex coupled with chronic resentment was associated with
having had more sexual partners, impregnators, and children. In contrast to
age at first coitus, age at first pregnancy did not seem related to the
early availability of information about sex, and it was less significantly
correlated with overall education.
