The aim of this study is to shed light on important concepts that are often neglected or underestimated in today's society, to map the area of sexual behaviour, to find out how can sex positively influence our body and mind, what habits our society has, what history tells us about sex. The extensive topic of sexuality is slightly controversial, it is all the more interesting that relatively little attention is paid to it on a social and professional level although it is an integral part of us. The literature of the history of sexual activity is full of "skeletons in the closet" and reveals countless surprises, complexes, injustices and unhealed wounds. This work compares this information with reality and current sources. Another part is devoted to the constantly and currently much-discussed topic of battle men versus women. We will also reveal differences that are unrecognizable at first glance. By describing the body, behaviour and social status, we find out that they have undergone a really long development. However, the intention is not to promote one sex above the other, nor to set imaginary boundaries between them. On the contrary, the work aims at concluding a peace agreement and expressing the equal importance of both men and women on the principle of mutual respect. Finally, in the practical part compiled in the form of a questionnaire, I specified the actions, thinking and awareness of young people about human sexuality and its relationship to health. The benefit is current information from the lives of students and their peers. As I dare say that sex education is unfortunately very neglected and underestimated at the moment, any new useful information for readers would be my relief and immense personal success.

The theme of this thesis is the sexual behaviour of adolescents in the context of health and social issues and the aim of this thesis is to explore this behaviour. Today it is proven that tolerant standards of adults shape the attitudes of young people. Therefore, the work will focus on clarifying opinions and viewpoints of juvenile sex life. The research involved a total of 40 respondents, who were selected by random selection principle from secondary schools in České Budějovice. The research sample was divided according to gender quota to 20 girls and 20 boys aged 17 years. The data were processed by statistical analysis and nonparametric methods, namely the Mann-Whitney test and the chi-square test, were used for hypothesis testing. The main aim of this thesis was to explore the characteristics and consequences of sexual behaviour of adolescents in secondary schools in České Budějovice. On the basis of the goals three hypotheses were set: hypothesis no. 1 "The boys start sexual life earlier than girls", hypothesis no. 2 "Girls pay attention to protected sexual intercourse more than boys" and the hypothesis no. 3 "Students who think that the sex education (discussions on sexual topics) in primary schools has meaning start sexual life later". This thesis could be used by social workers in social work with minors. It could be used also by curators for work with the young. Finally, it could be used to educate children in primary schools, particularly in the subjects of sexual education or health education.

This presented Bachelor thesis deals with the sexuality of women during pregnancy and after childbirth. Given the focus of this thesis period of pregnancy, parturition, puerperium and the associated sexuality is described in the theoretic part. Furthermore, the thesis deals with the role of midwives in the area of women sexuality during pregnancy and after childbirth. In total, there were defined three objectives. The first one was to find out, if women are apprised about sexual life in pregnancy period. The second one, if women are apprised about issues of sexuality after childbirth. And the third one, how women are apprised about the sexual life during pregnancy and after childbirth at all. The research was conducted with women in their homes during the month of February 2016. For realization of this research was used qualitative survey. Data collection was conducted through interviews with the women that were to one year after birthchild. The research sample consisted of eight women. The interviews were carried out after previous agreement and permission of these women. The interview contained 10 open-ended questions, in cases of need some additional questions were asked. Then the interviews were transcribed verbatim. The analysis was conducted by the hand coding method paper and pen. Each reponses were identified by specific codes that were subsequently classified under various categories. From the research resulted the fact that all interviewed women were apprised sufficiently about sexuality in pregnancy period. But responses about the way of getting information are diverse. Thanks to this research was found that women most often seek for information about sexuality in pregnancy period on the internet. Most women have a problem asking questions relating to this intimate area. That's why the most of them prefer to seek information from anonymous discussions. That primarily pointed out the need for increased awareness of women by midwives. However, not all women are searching for information. From the research resulted the fact that most of the women trust in their own body and anticipation especially and therefore they are not interested in receiving any other information. The investigation was to find out if women have need for sex. Most of the answers were affirmative. What is more, majority of the women mentioned that their need for sex got higher then before the pregnancy. The investigation pointed out that women are informed about issues of sexuality after the delivery mainly from midwives at childbed stations. According to all enquired ones all obtained information were sufficient. But what is more some of the women mentioned again that they do not seek for any information in this field because they follow their own bodies more than other people´s advice. Further questions were related to women sexual satisfaction after giving birth and whether they suffer from any physical or mental consequences caused by that. The results brought out that most of the interviewed ones started their sexual activities already during the time of childbed due to desire for lovemaking. On the other side their sexual desire markedly decreased in comperison with the pregnancy time. The results proved that they are well aware of sexual issues during pregnancy period but not due to midwives. It would be advisable to include this topic in general information that women receive particulary from midwives because this research proved that women in general would like to know more but they are ashamed to ask. As all information about sex after childbirth are received from midwives at childbed stations, women do not feel like seeking for more information on internet as they mention that the obtained information from midwives were sufficient.

1 ENGLISH ABSTRACT This thesis deals with sexual behavior of young people from fifteen till twenty-five years in the Czech Republic. Their activities are evaluated and interpreted from anthropological perspective of passage rituals. The official passage rituals of adulthood were eliminated in the western society and one universal passage ritual was crumbled in inexhaustible assemblage of particular unofficial hazy and often unclear ritual actions. This transformation begins because the man is according to Mary Douglas a ritual animal and the ritual suppressed in one form appears in another one even stronger. In this large assemblage of passage rituals of adulthood we can include for example dancing courses, school-leaving examination, gaining of the driving licence, smoking, drinking alcohol or just sexual activity. In the period of adolescence we can mark this activity as ritual because it has not the clear utilitarian procreative aim. This work presents original field research which bears on two main pillars: firstly on the quantitative questionnaire investigation and secondly on qualitative questionnaire investigation. The quantitative research was made in the secondary schools in Pilsen region and its main part counts one hundred and eighty-eight respondents. The research was going on during the years...
