Low education predicted early sexual intercourse for males but not females.

It used self-reported data, so it could just be that low-education males were simply more likely to report early sexual intercourse. Regardless, the results are interesting because they counteract the notion that improved education delays female sexual activity.

We used two waves of data from the Rotterdam Youth Monitor, a longitudinal study conducted in the Netherlands. The analysis sample consisted of 2,141 adolescents aged 12 to 14 years (mean age at baseline = 12.2 years, SD = 0.43). Physical activity (e.g., sports outside school), screen time (e.g., computer use), and early sexual intercourse initiation were assessed by means of self-report questionnaires. Logistic regression models were tested to assess the associations of physical activity behaviors and screen time (separately and simultaneously) with early sexual intercourse initiation, controlling for confounders (i.e., socio-demographics and substance use). Interaction effects with gender were tested to assess whether these associations differed significantly between boys and girls.

The paper seems to look at:

"prospective associations of physical activity behaviors and screen time with early sexual intercourse initiation (i.e., before 15 years)"

Not sure how "low education" came into the picture

There's also a paper which showed the higher socio-economic women have more sex partners whereas higher socio-economic men have less.

One explanation is that rich families (eg like royals) don't want bastard children, so restrict the men more from being promiscuous.

However there's studies showing that men who go to college have less sex partners than men who don't, and one Canadian paper showing the reverse for women - higher educated women had more sex partners. Very strange.
