Talking to your children about sex can be awkward, but new research suggests that parents need to have those conversations much earlier than they do.
In two national surveys, investigators found that between 4% and 8% of boys reported having sex before they were 13. That number varied greatly depending on where the boys lived. In San Francisco, just 5% of boys said they had sex before 13, but in Memphis that number jumped to 25%.
Race and ethnicity also made a difference in whether or not a young person had an early sexual experience. Black males were most likely to have sex before 13, followed by Hispanic males.
"Parents and educators can't wait until a high school class to cover key topics when many young males start having sex before this," said study author Laura Lindberg, from the Guttmacher Institute in New York City. The study was published April 8 in the journal JAMA Pediatrics .
The author of an accompanying editorial, Dr. David Bell, agreed. "The big picture for me is that we need to make sure our young people are better prepared and better educated around sex," he said.
Bell, an associate professor at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health, pointed out that talking about sex doesn't encourage young people to have sex.
The average age that teens initiate sex is around 17, according to Bell, and that number hasn't really changed in years. However, he said that the percentage of youths having early sex initiation (before 13) has been decreasing for more than a decade.
And that decline is good news, because having sex before 13 is linked to increased sexual risks, such as having multiple sexual partners and sexually transmitted infections, the editorial said. It may also be linked to substance abuse, dating violence and low school achievement.
The latest study looked at two large databases that included nationally representative groups. One study included nearly 20,000 high-school aged males. The other had almost 8,000 males between the ages of 15 and 24.
The volunteers were asked if they had experienced male-female sexual intercourse before age 13. Most of those who had sex before 13 said they had sex with a "friend." Lindberg said they didn't ask in this study if the friend was of a similar age, but previous research suggests that when boys have sex early, their partners are often close in age.
Fifty-five percent of the young men said they wanted the sexual experience, and 37% said they had mixed feelings about it. Eight percent said they didn't want it to happen.
Parental education appeared to have an impact. Boys with mothers who had a college degree were 69% less likely to have sex before 13.
As to why there are such variations in early sex rates, Lindberg said, "Adolescent males' attitudes and values about their sexuality and masculinity are influenced by the social context of their community.
"Our findings reflect that where you live exposes you to different social norms about manhood," she added. "The variation across settings means that programs for young people's development and health need to be tailored and responsive to the communities they are in."
Bell said that despite the geographical, racial and ethnic differences seen in the study, all young people need to receive sex education and parents need to be ready to have open, honest talks with their kids.
Bell also said that a child's pediatrician can play a helpful role if parents are struggling. And pediatricians should be aware of these findings because children who might engage in early sexual activity should be offered the HPV vaccine early (to prevent the sexually transmitted disease that causes some cancers), when it is most effective.

DEAR DEIDRE: IT worries me that my 14-year-old daughter is having sex with her boyfriend of 15.
She’s strong-willed but it has got worse since her dad and I split last year. I have a new partner who is horrified.
My team and I are working safely from home but we are here to help you as always.
Every problem gets a personal reply, usually within 24 hours weekdays.
You can also send a private message on the DearDeidreOfficial Facebook page.
My daughter started dating over the summer and they spend evenings and weekends chatting in her bedroom.
When I tell her she is too young for sex she just laughs and calls me old-fashioned.
DEIDRE SAYS: Your split with her father and you now having a new partner will have affected her. Does she have a caring dad?
She and her boyfriend are too young to make good decisions about sex, that is why having sex with an under-16 is illegal even with their consent. But discuss this with her from a welfare point of view, not her behaviour.

14-year-old boy faces charges for having sex with 12-year-old girl.
HOUSTON, Texas -- A mother fears her 14-year-old son may have to register as a sex offender for having sex with his 12-year-old girlfriend.
The mother, who spoke to Eyewitness News under the condition of anonymity, said her son was detained and charged with aggravated sexual assault of a child a few months ago. The two went to the same middle school and were a grade apart, she said. He was charged because she was 12 and he was a few months older than 14.
If found criminally responsible, there could be a long-term consequence.
"Since he's 14, he's facing the possibility of being put on the sex registry. The sex registry is for people who are absolute criminals, pedophiles, child molesters, dangerous people. The worst of the worst," she said.
There is an exemption for some teens. The so-called Romeo and Juliet law protects those who have consensual sex with someone within three years of their age. So, in Texas a 17-year-old can legally have sex with a 14-year-old , but if either party is under 14, like the girl in this case, the law does not apply.
"Every parent needs to know if you have a son or daughter who's sexually active," she warned. "It terrifies us. It terrifies him. He won't have a future. He won't be able to go to school. He won't be able to get a job. He won't be able to get a job digging ditches because he won't be able to pass a background check."
That's why she and her attorney are speaking up.
"Where's the common sense? It's incomprehensible we're doing this to children in our society and something needs to change," said Joe Gutheinz, the boy's attorney.
The Harris County District Attorney's Office filed the case. A spokesman declined to comment due to juvenile privacy concerns.
Juvenile court judges decide whether delinquents are placed on the registry, which has happened, according to two attorneys who defend juveniles.
The boy's mother is asking for compassion.
"Everybody was young. Everybody has a past. Everybody has made mistakes," she added.
