The researchers found that people whohad their first sexual experience at an earlier age were more likely to have healthy sexual relationships later in life. Those who delayed the experience were more likely to experience sexual difficulties in the future.

Scientists, however, noted that the word “early” is defined differently by everyone: for someone it means “before marriage”, for someone “until adulthood”. There is no consensus.
