Increasingly, modern girls are having their first sexual experience in early adolescence. American scientists conducted a study to determine the reasons behind this desire to lose their virginity early.
Experts have determined that one of the reasons for such early sexual experiences is excessive parental strictness. The more parents control their child's every move, the more they desire to try the forbidden.
The second significant reason for early “maturation” is alcohol consumption. After drinking, girls easily engage in sexual intercourse and disregard the rules of sexual behavior.
In modern young adult literature, authors frequently touch on the topic of sex. Moreover, intimate scenes described in books rarely mention precautions.
Among young girls, same-sex love is becoming the norm. Statistics from 2002 indicate that 5% of seventeen-year-olds were in a lesbian relationship. This figure has now risen to 11%.
A new study has shown that a girl's attitude toward her body shape also plays a significant role. It found that overweight girls are more sexually active and use condoms less often than their peers who are not overweight.
