Background: US Latino adolescents have higher teenage birthrates and higher probabilities for early sexual debut compared to other racial/ethnic groups. Understanding their reasons for delaying or initiating first-time vaginal intercourse is important in designing culturally-relevant health promotion programs. Methods: Using qualitative methods, we analyzed 21 semi-structured interviews with US Latino adolescents regarding their sexual debuts. Results: Seven had sexually debuted, acknowledging sexual feelings of desire, curiosity and pleasure for their romantic partner. The remaining 14 had not debuted citing reasons of self-interest reasons and external prohibitive factors. Eight of the 14 also attributed their status to not being in a romantic relationship. Discussion: Our findings suggest several areas for increased discussion including how romantic relationships and Latino cultural values influence sexual initiation and the use of contraception. These findings may enhance health promotion programs by identifying critical elements that may resonate with US Latino adolescent socio-cultural values and sexual development.      Resumen  Antecedentes: Los adolescentes latinos de Estados Unidos presentan tasas de natalidad mas altas y mayores probabilidades de iniciacion sexual temprana en comparacion con adolescentes de otros grupos raciales/etnicos. Entender las razones de los jovenes latinos para retrasar o iniciar el coito vaginal primera vez es importante en el diseno de programas de promocion de salud culturalmente relevantes. Metodos: En el presente estudio cualitativo se realizaron 21 entrevistas semiestructuradas con adolescentes latinos sobre las razones para iniciarse o abstenerse de practicar el coito vaginal por primera vez. Resultados: Siete de los participantes habian debutado sexualmente y 14 se habian abstenido de hacerlo. Quienes se habian iniciado reconocieron haberlo hecho por curiosidad, deseo sexual y por placer pero admitieron haberse iniciado sexualmente en el contexto de una relacion romantica con su pareja. Quienes se habian abstenido reportaron razones personales (no sentirse preparados, esperar hasta el matrimonio, temor de adquirir una infeccion sexualmente transmisible o de quedar embarazada) y tambien citaron fuentes externas de prohibicion (padres y religion). Ocho de los 14 adolescentes tambien atribuyeron el haberse abstenido al no haber establecido una relacion romantica todavia. Discusion: El analisis de los resultados sugiere que los adolescentes latinos de los Estados Unidos con caracteristicas similares a la muestra estudiada tienen los conocimientos y estan dispuestos a tomar decisiones razonadas sobre su iniciacion sexual.
