ABSTRACT
With the objective of evaluating sexual behavior and perspective on sex education to a sample of 110 students belonging to a
secondary school in the city of Maracaibo, Venezuela, a descriptive study was carried out with a longitudinal section, with a non -
Field experiment. The students were given a survey with different ways of answering. The first part of the instrument measured
aspects related to sexual behavior and the second, knowledge about sex education. The results of the study showed statistically
significant differences (P< 0.05) for items: At what age did you first have sex? How many sexual partners have you had? Do you use
any contraceptive method regularly? For the rest of the variables there was no significance. It is concluded that the sexual activity
of the sample studied is not precocious, the product of good sexual orientation in the home.
