“…La concurrencia entre familia y escuela permite que las acciones desarrolladas en el ámbito formal, dirigidas a la educación afectivo-sexual, se contextualicen con las necesidades de estudiantes y familias, lo cual genera resultados óptimos y mejora la percepción del profesorado sobre su propia gestión en el contexto educativo (Esteban, 2015). Una puntada final, y a modo de finalización, en las voces de autores como Burke & Hodapp (2014), Heiman et al (1998), Kippax et al (2005) y Kouta & Tolma (2008), quienes esbozan el lugar identitario de la sexualidad en los niños, niñas y adolescentes en la familia y el territorio escuela; en ambos lugares aparece la educación y la formación en asíntotas vitales en la acción integral e integradora del ser humano en el ambiente educativo.…”

Develar la relación escuela-familia como vínculo portencializador de la educación afectivo-sexual. Para la indagación, se utilizaron descriptores como: familia y escuela, escuelas de padres, escuelas de familia, educación sexual y familia, educación sexual y escuela, educación sexual y perspectiva de género; posteriormente, se seleccionaron las referencias con artículos que cumplían los criterios de inclusión en un margen de tres décadas (1991-2020), que recoge 61 documentos para consolidar el estado del arte. El análisis permitió construir una matriz bibliográfica, mapas sinópticos y de análisis conceptual que se ordenaron lógicamente en 4 categorías: Lo familiar en la sociedad, Escuela: territorio para el encuentro, Escuelas de Familia, y Educación afectivo-sexual: entre lo público y lo privado. La relación familia-escuela es un tema de actualidad, donde los roles y funciones de ambas instituciones se complejizan en escenarios que retan las estructuras tradicionales en la educación. El abordaje situado a la realidad actual y nacional muestra una propuesta necesaria y pertinente, desde el enfoque de derechos humanos, para el fortalecimiento de la relación familia-escuela, a pesar de los retos a los que se enfrenta la escuela en la actualidad (diversidad en tipologías de familia, contextos, roles, estereotipos del género, entre otros).

“…Scientific data also present a conservative and patriarchal mentality, where stereotypes and prejudices due to ignorance are widespread (Kouta & Tolma, 2008). The young people themselves rate sources and services on issues of Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) as limited and the sexuality education they receive from their environment as unsatisfactory (Lesta et al, 2008).…”

The current paper examines the knowledge, perceptions and attitudes of adult students on matters of behaviour that entail high-risk, but also on matters of health protection (sexually transmitted diseases) as factors directly related to and influencing their life on issues of prevention. First, a short overview of behavioural researches with statistical data is presented about the sexual activity of young people in Cyprus. It is followed by the research on the correlation between high risk sexual practices and habits of young adults. The research endeavours to explore practices young people use to identify the risks they are exposed to, take precautions and behave rationally in order to prevent serious conditions that may lead to insurmountable problems decisive for their life. The method used for data collection was structured questionnaires. The investigation results are presented with the formulation of specific research hypotheses/questions, which were examined by using the method of qualitative data analysis. The conclusion emphasizes the prevalent mentality in conjunction with the influence the family has in Cyprus, since parents function as powerful role models for their children.

Objective: Sexual myths can affect sexual satisfaction. In the present study, it was aimed to determine the belief rates and levels of sexual myths and the effects of this situation on sexual functions and satisfaction levels in women of sexually active ages. Materials and Methods:A total of 60 sexually active married women between the ages of 18-50 who admitted to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics of our hospital due to various reasons were included in the study. All participants were administered a 40-question Sexual Beliefs Scale and a 9-question Female Sexual Function Index questionnaire.Results: A total of 47 (77.6%) of women included in the study were under 35 years old, 13 (22.4%) were 35 years and older. Sexual myths that were the most commonly considered to be true were "success is extremely important in sexuality" (69.0%), "sex is good only with a simultaneous orgasm" (60.3%), and "as long as the couples love each other, they know how to give pleasure in making love " (56.9%). Mean total FSFI score (p = 0.002), mean total FSFI sexual satisfaction score (p = 0.03) and mean total FSFI discomfort score (p = 0.015) were significantly higher in the age group under 35 than the age group of 35 and over. Conclusion:According to the findings of our study, the belief rates of sexual myths are very high, and sexual myths can push people to unnecessary anxiety both in terms of general sexual health and during sexual intercourse, and can decrease the health and pleasure level of sex.
