Statement of the Problem: Adolescent romantic relationships are a space for the initial discovery of one's own sexuality that
can lead to the first sexual intercourse and further sexual activity. The sexual activity in adolescents is associated with riskier
sexual behavior, higher risk to acquire sexually transmitted diseases or unplanned pregnancy.
Aim: The aim of the study is to find out the frequency of sexual initiation in relation to family background in 15-year-old
adolescents in Slovakia between 2006 and 2014.
Material & Methods: The study analyzes data from the samples of 15-year-old adolescents in Slovakia obtained in 2006
(n=550), 2010 (n=807) and 2014 (n=736) in the Health Behavior in School Aged Children (HBSC) survey employing
internationally standard method of sampling, data collection and the uniform questionnaire. The results are representative and
allow international comparisons.
Results: In 2014, 14.1% of girls reported lifetime sexual experience, statistically more than the previous surveys (10.9% in
2006 and 10.0% in 2010). The sexual experiences were more frequently reported by respondents from incomplete families
(missing either mother or father), as well as families with a higher socio-economic status. The experiences were less frequent
if the respondents lived together with grandmothers or grandfathers.
Conclusions: Despite the increase during recent years, the occurrence of premature sexual experiences among girls in Slovakia
remains relatively low if compared with most of European countries. The results suggest that growth in the complete family,
or in a three-generation household, reduces the risk of premature sexual experience.
