This research had as its main objective to investigate a work proposal for sexuality, constituted from the perception and questioning of two groups of pupils/adolescents. Starting from the presupposed that the sexuality implicates in the formation of the individual itself, being in front of adolescents that have interests and necessities, it is necessary to conduct activities that try to approach scientifically the theme about sexuality, trying, at the same time, a kind of significant work for the ones involved. Therefore, I chose two classes of students in the adolescence phase, starting with a group of nineteen pupils, from which nine were girls and ten were boys, students in 8th grade of the fundamental school, with ages between thirteen and sixteen and another class of twenty-five pupils, thirteen girls and twelve boys, with ages between fourteen and nineteen, both from the state school net from different municipal districts. These pupils were the way for this research to be developed and built, because the research based on educating through research, tried to mobilize and involve the pupils/adolescents, proportionating a space to reflect and give the opportunity for questionings, such questionings started from the doubts and were the guiding reasons of the present proposal. The research consisted in building collectively answers to the questions put in the groups. From this process, in the first school, five categories of questions emerged: body transformation, sexual initiation, sexually transmitted illnesses, contraceptive methods and several others. In the second school, seven categories of questions came up: body transformation, sex, menstruation, contraceptive methods, sexually transmitted illnesses, sexual identity. For each one, a group of pupils was organized which mobilized themselves to search the answers. The results of the research were shared by the small groups with the big group and mobilized the continuous search of complexion of the explanation, in a spiral of interrogations, where everyone was involved in searching for answers. The posture and the importance given to the search, the socialization in the groups, moments in which they showed coherence, continuous involvement and dynamism in the understanding of the questions that came up were detached. During the process several meetings happened, allowing greater distraction and greater utilization of all. As consequence the consciousness that there is a lot of prejudice in relation to the body and the sexuality emerged. It also became clear that we have to understand how the body works and that it is important to build a harmony between body; mind; physical, psychic and relational factors, without distortions, assuming attitudes of self-valorization. The findings of this work demonstrated the relevance of this subject to be worked in a research way with the involvement of everybody, because it is the way that gives the chance to the adolescent to question, to get involved, participate, work its own doubts, allowing questioning and soften anguishes. This enables a more natural development of the sexuality, constituted in a learning act integrated in the school activities.
