The article analyzes the characteristics of the sexual onset of Mexican youth between 12 and 29 years of age, as well as the factors that are related to the greater use of contraceptive methods, in particular the use of condoms, emphasizing the role of gender inequalities over sexual practices The sexual onset of young people in different contexts was analyzed, comparing between sexes. The use of contraceptive methods in the first sexual intercourse was also studied. To know the sociodemographic factors related to the use of a condom, two logistic regression models stratified by sex were estimated. The data comes from Encuesta Nacional de la Juventud 2010. * The results show differences by sex both in the age of sexual onset, as in the characteristics of the couple and in the meanings given at the sexual onset. Likewise, young people with more traditional gender stereotypes increase the likelihood of starting sexually at earlier ages, and are less likely to protect themselves from an unplanned pregnancy and a sexually transmitted infection.

Keywords : Sexuality; gender; youth in Mexico; condom use.
