We used qualitative interviews to explore the influences on first sexual intercourse among 10 young women who had sexual debut within a year of enrolling in the university. University culture of sexual permissiveness and pressure from sexually experienced friends and male partners were the main factors influencing sexual debut. Ambivalence and a range of coercive behaviours characterized first sex. Participants were unprepared for sex and lacked power in deciding the timing and circumstances of first sex resulting in physical and emotional pain and regret. Interventions should address the risks of first sex among students in institutions of higher learning.
