This is the data I have found in paper presentation in new orleans about premature sex in nepali college student.
In Nepal, as in other Asian countries, the issue on sexuality still remains a taboo. Despite this,
there are increasing numbers of sexual activities reported among Nepalese students. Due to
sensitivity of this issue, youth receive inadequate education, guidance and services on
reproductive health. The main objective of this paper is to determine the prevalence and
investigate the influencing factors of premarital sexual intercourse among male college
students. A self-administered questionnaire was filled by the students. Association between
premarital sex and the explanatory variables were first assessed in bivariate analysis then
further explored using multivariate logistic analysis. The study found that individual, family
and peer characteristics such as alcohol consumption, smoking habits, attitude towards
virginity, parents’ education, parents’ status (whether having single or both) and peers’ sexual
behavior had main effects on premarital sex among male students. School/college based sex
education could benefit to prevent from risky sexual behavior.
The study found that more than one third of students (39%) had premarital sehttp://sajha.com/sajha/html/index.cfm?threadid=93740x (figure
1). Prevalence of premarital sex was varied with different settings. As expected, a slightly
higher proportion of boys in the age group 20 and above had premarital sex compared with
younger boys (below 20 yrs). Students who had higher education level had higher sexual
experience. For example, only around one third of boys who were studying in intermediate
level (35%) while more than two-fifths among who were studying masters degree (43%) had
premarital sexual experience. Regarding marital status, higher proportion of unmarried boys
(40%) had premarital sex compared with currently married (33%) boys. Similarly, level of
premarital sex is higher among those students whose permanent residence was outside the
Kathmandu valley (40%) compared with those who resided in Kathmandu permanently
(32%).
