Considering the recent and generalized interest in sexual education, the author is stu-dying the subject.
The objejctive of the study is to verify:
— the actual knowledge of 1 5 to 1 7 year high school students, of both sexes, in the area of Greater São Paulo;
— at what age they received their first information and from whom; — if boys and girls received the same information.
The instrument for collecting data is a semi-structured questionnaire, with questions on: the information received, age and source of first information on the following matters: sexual organs, menstruation, sexual intercourse (including petting, penis erection, ejaculation and nocturnal emissions), conception, development of the baby in the mother's womb, mas-turbation, homosexuality, contraception and venereal diseases.
The questionnaire is answered by the students in the classroom, being the researcher present to clarify any possible doubts.
The study is at the data collecting phase.
