Abstract

Preadolescent sexuality among urban, minority youth is considered within a normative developmental context. Fourth- and fifth-grade children living in an urban, primarily African-American, low-income neighborhood were interviewed regarding situations of sexual possibility and contigencies of heterosocial and heterosexual behavior. Findings are discussed in light of factors that may influence early heterosexual debut.
