Introduction. One of the main health problems faced by adolescents is Risky Sexual Behavior. The aims of the study were: To compare the CSR among a group of adolescents with different levels of executive functioning and to analyze the factors related to these behaviors using a linear regression model. Method. The sample consisted of 50 adolescents, 25 men and 25 women. To measure the CSR was used, the Scale of Sexual Behaviors and the questionnaire of the National Survey of Health and Sexual Habits, for the evaluation of the executive functions, the subtests of the Orbito Medial index of the Battery of Executive Functions and Lobes Frontals. Results: An ANOVA was performed taking the CSR score as the dependent variable and the level obtained in the Medial Orbit index as the independent variable. Likewise, an ordinary least squares model was made. According to the results, no signifi- cant differences were found between the groups p = .525. However, those with lower scores on tasks that evaluated inhibitory control and benefit-risk processing obtained higher CSR scores. On the other hand, the CSR that is mainly related to a high-risk level is: the early age of beginning sexual relations (-.930). Conclusions. Emphasis is placed on the importance of studying the phenomenon and its relationship with cognitive processes.
