Abstract
Using Q-methodology (73 items covering areas of sex, partnership, responsib ility, faithfulness, and risk) the authors made an effort to identify authe ntic constructions of sexuality in young people (N = 60). The analysis prov ided 9 constructions (factors) that are being structurally interpreted and categorized according to their implicit risk for the sexual health. While i nterpreting the factors, relations to actual forms of social discourse on s exuality (Christian, scientific, civic, and HIV/AIDS risk related) are bein g sought, as well as potential effectiveness of these four particular disco urses for risk-reduction on sexual behaviour are being extrapolated.
