Answer 1

3.

Answer:-Extended adolescence means despite being an adult a person tends to stay in adolescence like not doing any job or leave their parents until later. Today adolescence begins at the age of 10 and lasts till the age of 27 or 28. The people in the older generation used to get married before the age of 20 but now it's normal for people to get married even at the age of 35. This makes them involve in more number of sex before the marriage. The effects of extended adolescence are much higher in women because women have limited periods mostly up to the age of 30 to reproduce and attract potential partners. The fertility keeps decreasing once they cross 30 and then limit the chance of having a baby. Thus the phenomenon of extended adolescence has negatively affected premarital sexuality.
