Abstract     Background. Adolescents often decide on sexual intercourse without previous knowledge of negative consequences of sexuality. The intension of our lectures is therefore to inform the young and to advise them on how to protect them selves from these consequences. The information on the amount of knowledge of sexuality that adolescents have, and what interests them most, can be provided by a survey only. Thus, the survey serves as the basis for preparation of the lecture that focuses on the topics that adolescents are less familiar with and/or are most interested in. The adolescents are more eager to listen to the lecture that they helped create. Methods. The questionnaire was filled-in by 222 adolescents who attended lectures on sexuality in the school year 2002/3, 121 girls (mean age 14.47+-1.12 years) and 101 boys (mean age 14.55+-1.31 years); 18 (17.8%) boys and 10 (8.3%) girls were sexually active. Results. In boys the mean age at the first sexual intercourse was 15.1+-1.5 years, they had mean 2.0+-2.4 sexual partners. In girls the mean age at the first sexual intercourse was 14.5+-1.1 years, they had mean 4.6+-4.3 sexual partners. The first sexual intercourse was unprotected in 4 (22.2%) boys and in 5 (50.0%) girls. Only 8 (7.9%) boys and 24 (19.8%) girls enumerated 5 contraceptive methods, 8 (7.9%) boys and 23 (19.0%) girls were familiar with at least 3 sexually transmitted diseases. Major sources of information on sexuality for boys were school, television and parents, and for girls school, parents and books. The most frequently asked question by both boys and girls was, "What is the right time for the sexual intercourse? Almost one half of respondents, 49 (48.5%) boys and 51 (42.1%) girls agreed that sexuality is sufficiently discussed. (Abstract truncated at 2000 characters).
Summary     Izhodišča. Mladostniki se pogosto odločijo za spolne odnose brez predhodnega znanja o negativnih posledicah spolnosti. Zato želimo mlade na predavanjih poučiti in jim hkrati dati osnovno znanje, kako se obvarovati teh posledic. Kaj mladostniki že vedo o spolnosti in kaj jih najbolj zanima, pa lahko izvemo s pomočjo ankete. Na podlagi ankete lahko pripravimo predavanje s poudarkom na tistih temah, ki jih mladostniki slabo poznajo oziroma jih najbolj zanimajo. Takšnim predavanjem, ki so jih sami sooblikovali, so mladostniki tudi najbolj prisluhnili. Metode. Anketo je izpolnilo 222 mladostnikov, ki so v šolskem letu 2002/3 poslušali predavanja o spolnosti. 121 je bilo deklet, povprečne starosti 14,8+-1,1 leta in 101 je bilo fantov, povprečne starosti 14,6+1,3 leta. Spolno aktivnih je bilo 18 (17,8%) fantov in 10 (8,3%) deklet. Rezultati. Povprečna starost ob prvem spolnem odnosu je bila pri fantih 15,1+-1,5 leta, v povprečju so imeli 2,0+-2,4 spolna partnerja, povprečna starost ob prvem spolnem odnosu pa je bila pri dekletih 14,5+-1,1 leta, v povprečju so imele 4,6+-4,3 spolne partnerje. Prvi spolni odnos je bil brez vsake zaščite pri 4 (22,2%) fantih in pri 5 (50,0%) dekletih. Samo 8 (7,9%) fantov in 24 (19,8%) deklet je znalo našteti pet kontracepcijskih metod in 8 (7,9%) fantov ter 23 (19,0%) deklet je poznalo vsaj tri spolno prenosljive bolezni. Za fante so najbolj pomembni viri informacij o spolnosti šola, televizija in starši, za dekleta pa so to šola, starši in knjige. Najpogosteje zastavljeno vprašanje je pri dekletih in fantih: Kdaj je pravi čas za prvi spolni odnos? Da je pogovorov o spolnosti dovolj, je prepričanih 51 (42,1%) deklet in 49 (48,5%) fantov.
