Abstract
Asians, African Americans, Caucasians, and Hispanics were questioned regarding at what age they understood what sexual intercourse was and who told them. Additionally, the 474 participants were asked at what age they would begin the sex education of their children and whether it would be similar for sons and daughters. All four cultural groups indicated that (1) friends were the most frequent source of information regarding sexual intercourse; (2) they wanted themselves, as parents, to be the primary sex educators for their children; (3) they would begin their children's sex education earlier; and (4) they would give their sons and daughters differing information regarding sex.
