Sexual engagement and activities among adolescents have been reported to be increasing worldwide. The prevalence of premarital sex and pregnancy continues to increase and has become very common in the country. This study aims to determine the reasons why early adults engage in premarital sex to understand and determine their experiences, coping mechanisms, and insights. We employed a descriptive phenomenological research design. Four early adults or two couples participated in the semi-structured key informant review, and the data were analyzed using Colaizzi’s method. The results revealed the following themes: embarrassment and psychological impacts from their experiences; mindfulness for their coping mechanism; and respect, instability, and consequences for their insights. Although faced with various difficulties and challenges, the informants found a way to deal with the consequences of their actions, get on with their respective lives, and raise their children.
