Description

Definition
AGE1STSEXIMPMN (MV531) reports the respondent's age at first sexual intercourse.

This variable is the same as AGE1STSEXMN (MV525), except for men who reported their first sexual intercourse was at the time of their first union. For these men, the age at first sex is taken from the age at first union. In cases where the age at first sex was inconsistent with the age at conception of the first child, but only by one year, the age at first sex was reduced by one year.
