Abstract:
The right for all persons is the current view of the society, including to participate fully in the life. Partner relationships and sexuality are also important areas of human life. However, until recently, it was a taboo subject for people with intellectual disabilities. At present, we have been trying to solve this area for some time both in the field of theory and in the field of implementation into practice. However, there are still areas that should be better addressed in terms of improving the support provided. One of them is the area of sexual education.

The aim of this paper is to describe the conclusions of the research, which was carried out through qualitative methods in the area of sexual education of people with intellectual disability. In this context, focus more on the various aspects of this issue and the ways of addressing them.
