The present research seeks to compare the conceptions of sexuality and the practices in sexual health among adolescents from private schools in Metropolitan Lima. The study had a qualitative methodology, six semi-structured interviews were conducted with adolescents between 16 and 17 years (three women and three men) in search of common themes and differences according to gender. It was found that adolescents have a common conception of sexuality as relational, and differ by gender in terms of its expression, since women are positioned as vulnerable to abuse. Likewise, they share a common biomedical vision of sexual health, which is reinforced by the messages from the school and the family. Despite this, they came to recognize that there may be emotional risks when having sexual acts, these are presented in different ways due to the difference in gender roles. Women feared for the bond with the sexual partner while men did not consider their emotions when facing a sexual act. On the other hand, there is a preference for the use of condoms in men, since culturally they dominate their use. The influence of the family is shown as marked by traditional gender roles, where women are denied sexual freedom. The influence of the family is considered important in their decisions, only by the participating women. Finally, the participants recognize that there are shortcomings in the information given in the school.
