When polling high school students in St. Petersburg( 15-17 years) it turned out that almost 44% of girls and 42% of boys had experience in sexual relations. As the reason for the first intimacy, 53% of the girls named love, 33.6% - sexual attraction, 28% - curiosity, 18.7% - perseverance of the partner, for 2.8% the beginning of sexual relations was associated with violence, 8.4%The first contact occurred during alcoholic or narcotic intoxication.

In the Russian survey in 1995, only 35% of 16-19-year-old girls and 15% of young men said that they were in love with their first partner. The rest were content with just sympathy or nothing romantic at all( as almost every fourth young man answered).21% of young men and 11% of girls started their sex life with a man they did not know before. At many the first communication was casual, and in the further relations did not proceed.
