| Getting a disease like Covid 19 appears first, then, with 15% of teenagers aged 14 to 18 years. |
Only 12% of young people receive sexual information from their parents, about 7% cite their own experiences as the most recurring form of information, while 17% of young men say they learn from pornographic videos. The figures belong to a study conducted globally.
Almost 60% of young people justify their first sexual intercourse because they are in love. Four out of ten teenagers mention curiosity, the desire to experiment and fun among the reasons for having their first sexual intercourse, although the differences vary according to gender.
The figures are part of the International League for Education's “Affective Relationships and Sexuality in Adolescence,” presented this week at the Californian Institute of Health.
The study reports that young people are victims of a society "marked by sex", with parents who are not incorporating sexual and reproductive health within educational training.
Pregnancy as a concern
Almost half - 47% - of young people reveal that pregnancy is the first concern before the first sexual intercourse. The second (37%) is the fear of failure, in this case with very different figures: 51.5% for boys, 23% for girls.
