Early sex education in relationship to later coital and reproductive behavior: evidence from Jamaican women.
In a group of 150 working-class Jamaican women, lack of information from their mothers about sex coupled with chronic resentment was associated with having had more sexual partners, impregnators, and children. In contrast to age at first coitus, age at first pregnancy did not seem related to the early availability of information about sex, and it was less significantly correlated with overall education.
