ABSTRACT- président A Giami, Modérateur S Caruso Session organised by EFS : major questions concerning different periods of sexual life are approached. Adolescence CSimonelli and all ( Italy) : A peer education methodology was chosen to increase the impact of intervention on HIV prevention, risk perception, attitudes towards sexuality, gender identity and sex education. This project involved 2.920 teenagers. The percentage of Experimental Group subjects who reported condom use every time increased in a statistically significant way (p<0,01). Maryanne Doherty ( Canada) ; A Study investigating the socio-cultural, socio-environmental, and interpersonal determinants of adolescent sexual behaviour was undertaken to evaluate the influence of three primary components of psycho-social-environmental factors, on the sexual health of canadian youth. The study identified the variables that influence sexually and non-sexually active adolescent males. These results are presented and discussed Recommendations for educational programs for male adolescents are described. From youth to adulthood M Chevret-Measson ( France) : Impact of sexual abuse (an universal phenomenon) and the possibilities of resiliency on future sexuality are identified through an analysis of the literature : major depression, lack of autonomy, absence of self-confidence and confidence in others, will disturb seriously the possibilities of intimacy. The more abuse occurs early, the more it causes damage : sexual risk behaviour , sexual dysfonctions, and psychopathology Parentality A Giami and all ( France) : Qualitative interviews were collected among women and men consulting for infertility in order to evaluate the impact of infertility and infertility treatment on marital sexuality, sexual satisfaction and the couple relationship The research give evidence of a strong negative impact of infertility and infertility treatment on the frequency of sexual activity. Further on, during the process of the ART, an important decrease of marital sexuality occurs, related to the knowledge of infertility and the impact of the treatment. And Brain.. N Arnaud-Beauchamp ( France) ; Neurosciences have reassessed the important relations between the brain and the body or soma, through the emotionnal process. But studies about the role of emotions on sexual functionning, although are still lacking. Research on depressed affect has shown some consistent results suggesting a negative impact on sexual arousal. Some major studies in this field will be discusses and the application of this theoretical model for psychosomatic sexology will be discussed
