Summary/Abstract: In the modern social reality phenomena and processes may be distinguished which are connected with human sexuality and, as such, they may influence (self-) upbringing in this area. In this group we can enumerate, among others, the change of describing sexuality, the change of its presentation in public space, the change of sexual morals, commercialisation or sex super-marketing. Not assessing the phenomena and processes, which are bigger in number than mentioned above, one may state with certainty that nowadays many ongoing social and cultural changes have at least a potential impact on the (self) upbringing process. The thesis that sexual self-upbringing stands for a crucial element of upbringing, due to the multitude of new processes and phenomena with which youth grow up with, has been adopted for the article. The core and the meaning of self-upbringing are presented in the article as well as the premises which reason why human sexuality is self-upbringing activity, and the relation in the area tutor–sexual self-upbringing. On the basis of empirical research, the attitude of the youth towards sexual self-upbringing is presented and, at the end of the article, the needs of youth formation in the context of sexual self-upbringing are provided.
