Za evidentně předčasné považujeme sexuální styky lidí mladších 18 let. Jsou zdrojem mnoha problémů, které se v této studii snažíme rozebrat. Nepřímo je tato stať také pohledem na fungování - nefungování současné české rodiny.
An early beginning of sexual life in a considerable proportion of Czech young people can be seen as a warning sign of social pathology. This is often proceeded by family break-up and accompanied by alcoholism, nicotinism, possible drug abuse and gathering in gangs. Life is reduced merely to a biological process, the young person is emotionally deprived, losing his/her ideals and system of beliefs. This has a negative impact on the development of their social relationships and, last but not least, it adversely affects the physical and mental health of the whole society. The present article is an attempt not only to analyse these negative factors but also to suggest measures for improvement of this situation. These measures include a better quality of family life and a well prepared programme of sexual education and special health education which would provide protection against dangerous sexual experience.
