Teens skipping breakfast tend to have sex at an earlier age

Teens who skip breakfast as middle school students tend to have sex at an earlier age than those who start the day with a proper meal.

A recent Japanese poll of around 1,500 people has shown that those who skipped breakfast in their early teens first had sexual intercourse at an average age of 17.5 years, earlier than 19.4 for those who had breakfast every day.

Those who said they do not have happy memories of family life or those who expressed feelings of hatred toward their mothers also had a tendency to first have sexual intercourse early, the poll suggested.

Those who said they dislike their mothers first had intercourse at an average age of 16, compared with 18.6 for those who appreciated their mothers.

The result suggests that the family plays a major role for teens sexual activities.Before blaming individuals for having sex at an early age, it may be necessary to look into the sort of homes they are from.
