The aim of this study was to investigate how staff members at residential homes experience encountering Sexuality among the youths. The study was conducted by using qualitative interviews with four staff members at four different residential homes. The interviews have been analyzed by using content analysis and have been looked at through a perspective of experience, as described by Richard Stevens, and by applying developmental psychology. The results show that, although Sexuality is experienced as being distinctly present and being a topic of major concern, the staff members have given sex-education as a means by which to raise their own competence little or no thought. One way to interpret this is that Sexuality and sex-education haven?t been given a sufficient space in the work with the youths.

The analysis is based upon eight books of which four were published during the period from 1970 to 1975 and four books were published during 2000 to 2005.

Also Anthony Giddens theories about Sexuality in the late modern society are used, where the plastic Sexuality and the pure relationship are central ideas. The method is based upon textual analysis, and a model of analysis is constructed with its basis in the theoretical attempt.
