With an interest in feeling good or feeling stressed the theme of regret (most commonly associated with alcohol for young people) is something of interest to young people. Kaye Wellings and colleagues have developed a measure of sexual competence at first sex where regret is a key element.
• “Four variables relating to circumstances: regret, willingness, autonomy, and contraception at first intercourse, were used as criteria in the construction of a measure of sexual competence. Lack of sexual competence, thus defined, increases with declining age at first intercourse. A strikingly high proportion, 91% of girls and 67% of boys aged 13 to 14 years at first intercourse, were not sexually competent”.
Reflection: Are ideas of regret and sexual competence something that might inform your thinking or work with young people?
