{Abstract}: <B>UNASSIGNED: </B>We investigated whether the context of first-time intercourse (FTI) was associated with internal consent feelings and external consent communication at FTI.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>College students (n = 1020) from universities in Canada and the United States retrospectively reported on their FTI.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>Using structural equation modeling, we found that the context of participants' FTI (e.g. age, contraceptive use) predicted their internal consent, which in turn predicted their external consent communication.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>Sexual health education should highlight these contextual correlates of sexual consent at FTI. Despite the cultural primacy of FTI, consent should also be prioritized for other early sexual experiences.
