Preferred term

premarital sex  

Definition

  • Premarital sex refers to sexual interaction between heterosexual men and women prior to marriage. Many scholars chart changes in both attitudes and behavior related to premarital sex to explore the connection between this issue and social problems, such as divorce and the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. [Source: Encyclopedia of Social Problems; Premarital Sex]
