Summary/Abstract: This article can be viewed as an appeal for reformulating the present format of family and school education, which is “safe” and “resistant” to taboo. If we make the assumption that sexual taboo present in the most important learning environments are able to create false image of reality, they should not be, in my opinion, left unsupervised, but their character and the ways in which they are interpreted in the space in which the individuals participate should be examined. Familiarizing ourselves with taboo, analyzing them and, on that basis, developing practicable guidelines for educational influence would bring about a number of positive consequences the wider context, in which young people live.
