Summary/Abstract: The paper presents a holistic approach to sex education taking into account the comprehensive preparation of children and young people to know their own sexuality and the sexuality of people of the opposite sex. It has been highlighted aspect of biological, psychological and social development of sexuality, shaping the maturity of youth and relationship of sexuality with marital and parental roles undertaken in future. In order to justify this approach was discussed findings from analyzes of sex education programs realized in the world. The paper presents the conclusions from the author's own research concerning the relationship of participation in education classes to live in a family with young people attitudes towards sexuality, marriage and parenthood. The conclusions of their research are as follows: less than half of 18-, 19-year-olds involved in the study showed a mature attitude to sexuality; girls reveal much more mature attitude in this sphere than boys; increases in the percentage of sexually active teens; a large group of young people take sexual experience without love; about half of teenagers breaks contact with a partner after sexual initiation; nearly all young people have contact with pornography; young people participating in education classes for family life (especially boys) reveals a more mature attitude towards sexuality, marriage and parenthood than young people not participating in them; quality of the attitudes of young people towards the areas related to sexuality correlates highly with the quality of their attitudes towards marriage and parenthood - this is a positive correlation. Indicated participation by boys in education classes for family life with their more mature attitudes towards sexuality is an important argument in favor of this kind of education.
