Abstract
Abstract This report is concerned with sexual attitudes and behaviors among students in secondary schools in Uganda who are highly exposed to and influenced by non‐indigenous factors of western education and religions as well as the popular youth culture. The study shows an increasing acceptance and incidents of premaritial coitus and abortion. When it is not a career contingency, premaritial parenthood is preferred to abortion and a forced marriage. These attitudes are partly explainable by the increased opportunity for heterosexual contacts, lack of information and availability of up‐to‐date contraceptive techniques and a stigma‐free cultural attitude towards nonmarital children. There is support for traditional sexual practices especially by males.
