NFHS-3, India
51% of women and 27% of men age 1524 have ever had sexual intercourse.
One in every 10 women and 2% of men
had sexual intercourse before age 15
years.
Among never married youth, 12% of
men and less than 1% of women report
ever having had sexual intercourse.
NFHS-3, India
There is evidence of higher-risk sex among male youth unprotected by condom use.
Among youth who have ever had sexual intercourse, men on average have had 1.8 partners, and
women have had slightly more than one partner.
Among the 22% of men who had sexual intercourse
in the 12 months prior to the survey, a little more
than one-quarter had higher-risk intercourse, i.e.,
they had intercourse with a partner who was neither
a spouse nor lived with them.
Among men who had higher-risk sexual intercourse,
a little more than one-third used a condom at last
higher-risk intercourse.
