8. nzaf.org.nz loveyourcondom.co.nz Who is it for and how does it fit into the curriculum? Most young MSM have their first anal intercourse at age 19 or under. Same/both sex attracted students are significantly more likely to be sexually active. Using a condom during first anal sex makes future condom use more likely First anal intercourse and sexual attractions are occurring when young MSM are within their school education, making this period the right time to be talking about safe sex.
