According to a team of scientists led by the University of Oxford, the age when you first have sex may be written into your genetic code. The study revealed 371 genetic variants that contribute to when people first have sex or when they have children. The research team surveyed 214,547 women and 182,791 men for when they first had sex using a database called UK Biobank, which contains health and genetic data for people in the UK.
They discovered more than 300 segments of our DNA that could be linked to when people first had sex and gave birth. Using this data, the team analyzed how the timing of having sex and giving birth could be linked to other health conditions, like addiction, diabetes and ADHD. “We anticipate that our results will address important interventions in infertility, sexual and mental health,” said the study leader.
