Using responses from questions about age at first sexual intercourse and age at first marriage, this paper offers a method of studying premarital sexual behaviour in societies where the subject is a taboo topic. More than half of the currently married women in Kinshasa engaged in sexual intercourse before marriage. The likelihood of having premarital intercourse increases among younger women, those with higher education, and those whose ethnic groups have liberal attitudes towards sexual conduct. The results also suggest that sexual activity accounts for late marriage.
本文利用关于首次性行为年龄和初婚年龄问题的回答，提供了一种在将该主题视为禁忌话题的社会中研究婚前性行为的方法。金沙萨超过一半的已婚妇女在婚前有过性行为。年轻女性、受过高等教育的女性以及其族群对性行为持开放态度的女性发生婚前性行为的可能性更大。研究结果还表明，性活动是导致晚婚的原因。
