Objective To define the profile and risk factors of sexual attitude and behavior of rural
women. Methods Using stratified cluster sampling, tape-recorded interviews and face to face interviews
were carried out among 606 rural women. Results 24. 6 % of the women being studied accepted the idea of
"premarital sexual intercourse" and thought "premarital sexual intercourse between a couple" acceptable
accounted for 34. 2 %, 14. 7% and 4% of the women reported having had premarital sexual intercourse and
premarital induced abortion respectively. 5 .0% of the women admitted having had sexual intercourse
during menstruation. 4% and 3% of the women under study accepted "extramarital sexual intercourse" and
"paid sexual intercourse" if they were in need of money. None of the women reported ever having had
extramarital sex or paid sex. The results derived from two different methods did not differ significantly.
Logistic regression suggested that age, education and ethnicity were associated with attitude towards
premarital sex. and age was associated with premarital sexual behavior. Conclusion Sex education need to
be promoted and targeted among rural population at early age. "Tape-recorded interview" method did not
show a better validity in this study.
