Abstract
The aim was to analyze in the literature the factors inherent to the process of information about sexual orientation for young people and adolescents. Integrative literature review, carried out using the Virtual Health Library and PubMed scientific databases, from 2012 to 2022, using the Boolean operator “AND”. Complete, free and original articles were included. After the findings, the final selection of six articles was made. After the analysis, three categories were divided, the first identifying the relationship between gender and the search for knowledge, the second comprising the search for knowledge and easy access to unsafe information, and the third identifying the unpreparedness of parents to their children about sex education. It found the difficulty that parents have in exposing the theme of sexuality with their children, denoting shyness and inflexibility. On the other hand, the children feel the need to pass on information, and often end up seeking it with inconsistent sources. Having seen, guidance on sex education within the family and in other aspects is necessary in order to overcome the challenges encountered in this study.
