摘要
The present study examined the connection between having sexual intercourse with a premarital partner for the first time and the effect on the subsequent relationship. This questionnaire study surveyed 447 college students concerning personal factors and characteristics of their relationships with their premarital partners. The results indicated that several factors were related to the effect on the relationship. Quality of the relationship as a sexual decision factor was the best predictor of positive effect on the relationship. Suggestions for research on premarital sexuality are discussed as well as implications for intervention programs in family life education and high school and university human sexuality programs, and with premarital couples.
