Introduction  This study was to examine the influence of socioeconomic factors, sexual knowledge, attitude to life and hygiene behaviour on sexual behavior among the adolescent students in Taiwan.  Previous studies of sexual behaviour among the adolescent students : Socioeconomic factors : Hutchinson., (2002) ; Clawson et al., (2003) (2002) ; Danziger et al., (2000) Forste et al., (2002) ; Lin (2005) Attitude to life : Santeli et al., (2004) Hygiene behavior: Coker et al., (1994); Mott et al., (1996) Santelli et al., (2004) Infectious Disease : Hogan et al., (2000) ; Kaestle et al (2005) Kahn et al., (2004)  Adolescent sexual behavior has seldom been connected with socioeconomic factors, sexual knowledge, attitude to life and hygiene behaviour simultaneously in Taiwan, particularly for econometrics analysis.

14 14 4. Discussion For the Socioeconomic Factors: Students who were relatively older and studied in private schools were more likely to show significant and positive influence on sexual behaviour regardless of gender. In contrast, adolescent students living with parents and maintaining excellent family relationship were less likely to present sexual behaviour experience.

15 15 Nevertheless, this paper highlights that the girls living in urban revealed a significantly higher probability of sexual behaviour than those living in rural, but area variable showed significance only for girls. Contrast patterns were observed for religion belief. Boys with devout belief had a significantly lower probability of sexual behaviour than those who never had. Similarly, religion variable showed significance only for boys but insignificance for girls.

16 16 4. Discussion For the Sexual Knowledge: Sexual internet variable strongly associated with sexual behaviour for both young boys and girls, but sexual books variable showed statistics significance only for girls For the Attitude to Life : Adolescent students with strict attitude to life demonstrated significant and negative effects on sexual behaviour regardless of gender

17 17 4. Discussion For the Hygiene Behavior: Ben-nut variable showed a significant influence on sex behaviour for boys but an insignificant influence on such for girls. However, smoking showed significance for both boys and girls.

18 18 4. Conclusion Findings suggest that the kind of school, family relationship, attitude to life and hygiene behavior have strong and significant influences on sex behaviour for the adolescent students, but these variables have different significant effects on sex behaviour between boys and girls. Results imply that the developing strategies that target adolescent sexual education, we should take into account the gender difference.
