Introduction: in the last years, sexual initiation in our young people seems to have anticipated. In this study we want to find out what risk factors have statistically significant relation to having sexual relations with penetration in adolescents. Methods: 1289 students of 2.º and 3.º grade of Secondary Education in the region of Castilla-León (Spain) were interrogated in the 2010-2011 school year. Multiple epidemiological variables were analyzed, calculating centralization and dispersion in quantitative variables, and distribution of frequencies in qualitative variables. Results: 563 boys and 726 girls were studied. The students’ media age was 14.05 years (median and mode: 14 years; range: 12-17 years). 17.5% had had sexual relations with penetration. (9% at 12; 6% at 13; 10.6% at 14; 34.2% at 15; 53.2% at 16 and 57.1% at 17 years). This percentage was greater in boys (20.2%) than girls (15.4%). Other statistically significant associated factors (p< 0.05) were being older, worse relation with his parents, divorced parents, worse relation between their parents, smoking, drinking alcohol, getting drunk, consuming drugs, worse present health, worse feeding, worse memory, having more erotophilia and being agnostic or atheist. Conclusions: adolescent sexual precocious initiation risk factors are alcohol, tobacco, drug consumption, a bad relationship with their parents and between their parents.
