Debut of the Sexual and Contraceptive Life of Romanian Female Students. A Qualitative Study

Summary/Abstract: The studies about the sexual and reproductive attitudes and behaviours of young people are still rare in Romania. The results of the four successive Reproductive Health Surveys carried out in Romania between 1993 and 2004 have shed light on the changes in the sexual behaviour of young people after the fall of the communism: the diminution of the age at first intercourse and the increase in the use of modern contraception. However, little is known about the individual and social factors that influence the sexual behaviour and about the manner in which young people interpret their own feelings and sexual experiences. This study is based on two focus groups with female students in the first and second year of study at the Department of Sociology and Social Work from Babeş-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca, and it aims at enriching data about certain uncovered subjects on the Romanian youth’s sexuality.
