RESUMEN
Antecedentes El contexto en que se inicia la actividad sexual en adolescentes tiene importantes signifca-dos para las personas e implicancias en salud pública.

Objetivo:

Conocer con un enfoque exploratorio, los factores que infuyen en el inicio de la actividad sexual en adolescentes y explorar el contexto en el cual ocurre.

Método:

Muestra de adolescentes, hombres y mujeres, sexualmente activos entre 14 y 19 años, re-clutados en el CEMERA, durante 2007. Se realizaron 117 entrevistas semiestructuradas. Se utilizó el análisis temático de los datos. Los signifcados e interpretaciones fueron constantemente verifcados a través de sucesivos análisis.

Resultados:

El grado de control personal que tuvieron sobre los factores que condujeron a su primera experiencia sexual, determinó como ellos/as se sintieron con esta experiencia. Aquellos/as que dijeron que había sido una buena experiencia, demoraron el inicio sexual hasta que se sintieron cómodos/as con el momento y con quien debutaron sexualmente. Sin embargo, sentimientos de culpa marcaron el evento, porque ellos/as habían transgredido las normas sociales. En contraste, la coerción de sus parejas y los efectos del alcohol, fueron razones que llevaron a una experiencia sexual prematura y no deseada.

Conclusiones:

El rol de la interacción con sus pares, el abuso de alcohol y la presión de la pareja, en el caso de las niñas, infuyen en la actividad sexual prematura y no deseada. Las intervenciones educacionales debieran considerar estos aspectos para que tengan relevancia personal y el impacto pueda ser mayor en la postergación del inicio de la actividad sexual o que esta sea protegida.
ABSTRACT

Background:

It is important to understand that the timing and context in which sexual intercourse is initiated, has signifcant personal and public health implications.

Objective:

To explore the factors that infuence the initiation of frst intercourse among adolescent females and males and the context in which this event occurs.

Methods:

A sample of sexually active teenagers both female and male, aged between 14 and 19 years, were recruited from a University Centre for Sexual and Reproductive Health Care (CEMERA), during 2007. One hundred and seventeen semi structural interviews were conducted. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data. Meanings and interpretations that emerged were constantly verifed through subsequent inquiry.

Results:

The degree of personal control over the factors that led to their frst experience of intercourse determined how adolescents refected upon the experience. Those who were ready and felt well were more likely to have delayed intercourse until they were comfortable with when and with whom the sexual debut occurred. However, feelings of blame because the social norms were transgressed marked the event. In contrast, coercion from sexual partners and being under effect of alcohol were reasons for premature and unwanted frst experience of sexual intercourse.

Conclusions:

The role of peer interaction and abuse of alcohol, and the pressure from sexual partner to infuence in premature and unwanted sexual activity, may to generate educational interventions of greater personal relevance and impact to prevent risky sexual behaviors.
