This study was conducted to determine the factors that influence the behavior of premarital sexual relations of young men in Indonesia by using Indonesian Health Demographic Survey (IDHS) data in 2017. Respondents in this study were unmarried young men aged 15-24 years numbered 12,523 people. The analysis showed that 1,258 young men had sexual relations before marriage (10.0%). There is a relationship between age (0,000), residence (0.005), knowledge (0,000) and attitude (0,000) towards premarital sexual behavior.
