Introduction: Early sexual involvement places young people at risk for pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections, and is linked to other health-risk behaviors. To develop appropriate interventions it is important to have an understanding of both adolescent sexual behavior and satisfaction with sexual behavioral status. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of satisfaction with sexual status to gender, grade level, religiosity, and sexual attitudes among early adolescents. Methods: Data were collected from 8th-12th grade students (n = 450) from a southern rural school district. Students voluntarily, and with written parental permission, completed a questionnaire in their regular classroom setting. Sexual status was measured by a single item by which participants placed themselves in one of the following four categories: Vigin – satisfied with status, Virgin – frustrated by status, Non-Virgin – satisfied with status, Non-Virgin – regrets status. Sexual attitude items were based on the health belief model and the theory of reasoned action. Researchers utilized SAS programs to complete the data analysis. Data were analyzed using chi-square and logistic regression. Results: Results of the chi-square analysis indicated that sexual status was not independent (p < .05) of 21 variables including gender, grade level, religious attendance, religious feeling, confidence in high school graduation, belief in college graduation, belief in a successful future, and 14 sexual attitude items. When analyzed by gender, chi-square analysis revealed for both males and females that sexual status was not independent of 13 of these variables. Four other variables (religious attendance and three sexual attitude variables) were significant only for females. Belief in college graduation was significant only for males. Results of the logistic regression were as follows: all participants: R2 = .45 (p < .0001), females: R2 = .47 (p < .0001, and males: R2 = .54 (p < .0001). Variables making a unique contribution to distinguishing between differing levels of sexual status for all participants included: grade level, belief in good idea of future life goals, and two sexual attitude variables; for females: grade level and three sexual attitude variables; for males: grade level. Implications: Findings should be of value to those planning intervention programs directed toward the reproductive health needs of adolescents. Results are useful for public health policymakers and researchers interested in improving adolescent reproductive health and well-being.
