The frequency of sexual intercourse among male students (61·2%) was higher than that among female students (18·3%). The mean age of first sexual intercourse was lower among male than among female respondents. The rate of condom use at first sexual intercourse was 47·4%. The frequency of having two or more past sexual partners and masturbation was higher among males than females.
