Sexual Relations : Chetna Manch Special. Most people in India still avoid talking about sex, but when it comes to having sex, they don’t hold back. Now a report has come in this regard. A decade ago, India introduced a tough new law to deal with cases of child sexual abuse. Now there is a growing demand among teenagers for consensual sex to decriminalize it. The latest figures of National Family Health Survey i.e. National Family Health Survey show that people in India are having sex at a young age. More than 39 percent of Indian women have had sex before the age of 18. Indian women become sexually active at an early age. In the report of the National Family Health Survey, it was told that the number of women having sex in 18 years is more than men. In the 25-49 age group, 10 percent said they had had a sexual relationship before the age of 15. Since this is a survey done by the Government of India and today’s government is not going to promote sex at a young age, there can be no reason to believe that this survey will be wrong. Secondly, it is written in this survey itself that these figures are completely based on the conversation with people, and women and girls in India hesitate to talk about this kind of relationship, so it may be that the number of figures told Yes, half of them are hidden.

Why women are having sex at a young age
In India, a big difference has been observed in having sex between men and women. The biggest reason for this difference is the age of marriage. Statistics show that women are married at a young age, so women have sex at a young age. The report of the Indian National Family Health Survey says that sex before marriage is still taboo in large parts of the country. That’s why men also hesitate to have a relationship before marriage. Statistics show that North Indians lead a more active sex life as compared to South Indians. In states like Haryana, Punjab, Chhattisgarh and West Bengal, more than 55 percent of men and women reported having sex in the four weeks before the survey. Other states where the majority reported having an active sex life are Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan.

States such as Punjab, Haryana, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh have relatively higher proportion of sexually active single men above 5 per cent, which is higher than other states.
With whom do single women and men have sex?

A portion of the women admitted that they have sex with acquaintances. It is also mentioned in the report that women and girls in India hesitate to talk about this type of relationship. It is possible that half of the figures told have been hidden.
urban-rural divide
The research also revealed that urban women in the 25-49 age group have sex about two years later than rural women. Urban women had their first relationship at an average age of 20, while women in rural areas had sex at an average age of 18.
