Com certeza, sim. Em todos os lugares, em todas as pessoas e em todas as situações do cotidiano? Isto não daria para afirmarmos, mas o que mostramos neste trabalho é como as atitudes e os comportamentos sexuais das pessoas, nos dias de hoje, estão sendo representados pelas palavras, ou então, pelos sinônimos proferidos cotidianamente, como também dentro do universo escolar. Coletamos por meio de uma pesquisa qualitativa um total de 1.308 palavras que representam os nomes para a genitália masculina e feminina: pênis e vulva e para algumas práticas sexuais, masturbação e relação sexual. Uma dinâmica retirada do material do SEBRAE (Serviço de Apoio à Pequena Empresa) foi aplicada em seis estados brasileiros, compreendendo quatro regiões: sul, sudeste, centro-oeste e nordeste, em cursos de formação em Orientação Sexual escolar, com a participação de 4.916 pessoas, sendo pais/mães e professores/as, com as idades entre dezoito a sessenta e oito anos. As palavras encontradas foram agrupadas em eixos temáticos e divididas em categorias, apoiadas na análise de conteúdo de Laurence Bardin. Discutimos a importância e/ou a necessidade da utilização de tantos sinônimos que se refiram a sexo/sexualidade. Após a análise das palavras, constatamos a dificuldade que os/as participantes demonstram em verbalizar palavras de cunho sexual, portanto com resistências e desinformação que são passadas aos/às alunos/as, denotando assim uma repressão sexual e a conseqüente necessidade da Orientação Sexual, no ambiente escolar, envolvendo toda a comunidade educativa, a saber: pais/mães, professores/as, equipe pedagógica e administrativa, funcionários/as e alunos/as. / Is sexuality still something hidden? Certainly, yes. In every place, in every person and in every daily situation? We cannot claim that, but what we want to show with this work is, how sexual attitudes and behaviours of the people in nowadays are represented in words or in daily spoken synonyms and also in the school system. We collected in need for a qualified research a total of 1.308 words that represent names for the male and female genitalia: penis and vulva and for some sexual practices, masturbation and sexual relation (ships). A removed dynamic of the material of SEBRAE has been applied in six brasilian states, including these four regions: the south, southeast, the center of the west and the northeast, in courses that deal with the formation in Sexual Orientation in school, with the participation of 4.916 persons, fathers/mothers and teacher; their age was between eighteen and sixty-eight years. The noticed words have been classified in various groups and divided in different categories, based on the analyse of the contents of Bardin (1977). We discussed the importance and/or the necessity of the utilisation of so much synonyms that relate to sex/sexuality. After the analyse of the words, we found out that there is still a difficulty that people show when it comes to speaking out words that relate to sexual subjects; by that their resistance and the lack of information are transfered to the students, and this fact is denoting a sexual repression and a consistently necessity of Sexual Orientation, in schools, envolving the whole educating community, to know: fathers/mothers, teacher, the pedagogical and administrative groups, employees and students.

This study is based on a content analysis of two primary sources: 1) literature published on lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) youth in professional journals for school providers (school counselors, nurses, psychologists and social workers) over more than a 30-year period; and 2) materials developed for school providers on LGBT youth by states with laws, regulations and professional policies related to sexual orientation and/or gender identity in schools. Fifteen professional journals were identified that serve as primary and secondary journals for school providers. A total of 41 articles were published in these journals on LGBT youth between 1937 and 2005. Journal articles were coded by the investigator and a second coder, with an inter-rater reliability rate of .97. Most articles focused on identity development, and a majority provided information on developing a supportive school environment for LGB youth. Few focused on issues of salience for contemporary generations of LGBT adolescents, such as resiliency and strength or positive youth development. Only one article focused on youth of color, one on lesbian youth and none on transgender youth. Less than one-third included HIV/AIDS, only 7% mentioned HIV counseling and testing, and 2% mentioned lesbians' risk for STDs. Nearly three-fourths of articles (71%) focused on interventions with LGB youth (few included transgender youth), including the need to promote a safe school environment. Few empirical articles (19.5%), a handful of training articles (7.3%) no theoretical and very few review articles (2.2%) were published during this period. Although nearly one-third of the states had adopted laws, regulations or professional standards to prohibit discrimination of students on the basis of sexual orientation (and 4 included gender identity), no states other than Massachusetts had developed training materials for school providers on LGBT youth. However, Massachusetts' materials were never used since their program was defunded in 2002. Several states made training on LGBT adolescents available to school providers through professional and community organizations. Coupled with limited and outdated content in professional journals, school providers lack access to current multidisciplinary research, theoretical literature and information reviews needed to inform their work with LGBT students and their families.
