This article compares coital experience of Chiang Mai 17-20-year-olds who were: (1) out-of-school; (2) studying at vocational schools; and (3) studying at general schools or university. Four-fifths, two-thirds and one-third, respectively, of males in these groups had had intercourse, compared to 53, 62 and 15 per cent of females. The gender difference for general school/university students, but not vocational school students, probably reflects HIV/AIDS refocusing male sexual initiation away from commercial sex workers. Vocational school females may have been disproportionately affected. Loss of virginity was associated, for both sexes, with social-educational background and lifestyle, and was less likely in certain minority ethnic groups. Among males, it was also associated with age and parental marital dissolution, and among females, with independent living and parental disharmony. Within social-educational groups, lifestyle variables dominated, but among general school/university students, parental marital dissolution (for males) and disharmony (for females) were also important, and Chinese ethnicity deterred male sexual experimentation.
本文比较了清迈17至20岁的三类人群的性交经历：（1）辍学者；（2）就读职业学校者；（3）就读普通学校或大学者。这些群体中，分别有五分之四、三分之二和三分之一的男性有过性交经历，相比之下，女性的比例分别为53%、62%和15%。普通学校/大学学生存在性别差异，但职业学校学生不存在，这可能反映出艾滋病毒/艾滋病使男性的首次性行为不再集中于商业性工作者。职业学校的女性可能受到了不成比例的影响。对于男女双方而言，失去童贞都与社会教育背景和生活方式有关，在某些少数民族群体中可能性较小。在男性中，还与年龄和父母婚姻解体有关，在女性中，则与独立生活和父母关系不和谐有关。在社会教育群体中，生活方式变量起主导作用，但在普通学校/大学学生中，父母婚姻解体（对男性而言）和关系不和谐（对女性而言）也很重要，而且华裔身份抑制了男性的性尝试。
