Abstract

This article analyzes the current discussions on sex education in public high schools, with particular attention to the implementation of the Integral Sexual Education Law 26.150, after ten years of his publication. To perform this analysis, it is assumed that the aforementioned law would not appear clearly and explicitly in daily teaching practices at the secondary level. In this line, we believe that the enactment of the law and the information contained in its articles would not coincide with the implementation of it. Accompanying this hypothesis, we believe that sexuality, played as contemporaneous-
social problems, it is influenced and mediated by dramatic historical and social changes that prevent an orthodox and unchanging definition can clarify its methodological approach. Both its vagueness, as its theoretical inaccuracy, realizes susceptible space of ambiguous and precarious interpretations. The proposed analysis adopts a mixed approach, which includes a tour of key authors, official documents related to the field of sexual education and analysis of quantitative data.
