To make more intensive study of the themes investigated by questionnaire (n = 241) in the preliminary survey, twelve male adolescent students (private and public high schools) were interviewed. The main themes investigated were familiar relationship, gender representations, sexual life, STD/SIDA/pregnancy prevention. By a thematic content analysis (longitudinal and transversal) the results suggested a maintenance of traditional positions concerning with gender representations, homosexuality, pregnancy in adolescence and familiar values.
