Zusammenfassung
A study analyzing representations of sexuality constructed by boys and girls at puberty age is presented. Evolution of this representations in a six-year period is also considered. The study has been carried out analyzing the content of 1.204 questions about sexuality, asked by 13- and 14- year-old boys and girls in Sexual Education programs. The main result is the low interest about erotic aspects, and the high interest about their body, reproductive health and birth control observed in girls' questions. The notion of "erotism subrogated" is proposed to explain the differences between sexes observed in their questions.
