=== Early loss of virginity === Early loss of virginity has been shown to be linked to factors such as level of education, independence, biological factors like age and gender, and social factors such as parental supervision or religious affiliation, with the most common being sociodemographic variables.<ref name=":02">{{Cite journal|last1=Lammers|first1=Cristina|last2=Ireland|first2=Marjorie|last3=Resnick|first3=Michael|last4=Blum|first4=Robert|date=2000-01-01|title=Influences on adolescents' decision to postpone onset of sexual intercourse: a survival analysis of virginity among youths aged 13 to 18 years|journal=Journal of Adolescent Health|volume=26|issue=1|pages=42β48|doi=10.1016/S1054-139X(99)00041-5|pmid=10638717}}</ref> Along with this, sexual abuse has also been shown to have a link to later [[risky sexual behavior]]s and a younger age of voluntary sexual intercourse. Sexual initiation at an earlier age has been associated with reduced frequency of condom use, less satisfaction and more frequency of non-autonomous reasons for that first sexual encounter.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Osorio|first1=Alfonso|last2=Lopez-del Burgo|first2=Cristina|last3=Carlos|first3=Silvia|last4=de Irala|first4=Jokin|date=2017|title=The Sooner, the Worse?
