This paper examines data on the sexual activities of 1,200 Malaysian adolescents aged 15-21 years based on a probability household sampled survey carried out in Kuala Lumpur in 1986. Sexual behaviours like premarital sexual intercourse, contraceptive usage and masturbation were presented. Of the 1,181 unmarried respondents, 9% (105) reported having had sexual intercourse; males were significantly more experienced compared to females. Older age groups were also found to be more sexually active than the younger ones. Among those who had experience dating (n = 521), 20% (105) have experienced sexual intercourse, 44% (228) have kissed and necked, and 35% (183) have experienced petting, while 24% (130) have had no physical intimacies. Poor use of contraception was also revealed. The most commonly used were condoms, oral contraceptives and withdrawal. With regard to masturbation, males begin this practice relatively earlier than females. Almost half of those who indulged in masturbation were worried by the act, especially the females. Implications of the findings are discussed.

PIP: The authors examined data on the sexual activities of 1200 Malaysian adolescents aged 15-21 years (mean age, 17.6 years). 792 respondents were male and 408 were female. 748 were students. Of the 1181 unmarried respondents, 9% reported having had sexual intercourse, with males being significantly more experienced than females. Older age groups were more sexually active than younger ones. Among the 521 who had experienced dating, 20% had experienced sexual intercourse, 44% have kissed and necked, 35% experienced petting, and 24% had not been physically intimate. Condoms, oral contraception, and withdrawal were the most commonly employed contraceptive methods among those who were sexually experienced, although the level of contraceptive prevalence was low; only 37% of the sexually active respondents used any form of contraception. The condom was the most common method used. Males began masturbating at the mean age of 14.4 years, compared to girls who began at mean age 15.5. Almost half of those who masturbate are worried by that behavior, especially the females.
