According to research, sexual activity is highly influenced by peer influences or pressure.
During adolescence and early adulthood, many people make the decision to have sexual relationships because they feel a level of pressure when their friends have already started to become sexually active.
Understanding that each person should start her/his sexual life when he/she feels ready, instead of becoming sexually active because of peer pressure is highly beneficial for the individual because it leads to a better sexual and reproductive health. It also prevents early pregnancies and/or sexually transmitted infections.
