INTRODUCTION The importance of studying social and cultural patterns is based on the specificity of the Latin American context in reproductive and sexual matters. Thus, it can be estimated that when a generalized increase in fertility in peasant women is observed decreasing in the last decades and its relative contribution has remained constant or has increased, what happens to happen of the massive diffusion of the contraceptive means. This paradox transforms that the right to education in rural women is necessary and imminent. Reproductive sexual education in the subject of educational instruction appears as a topic that state policies must begin to address. However, the educational insertion affects the ideological formation of aspects of sexuality. At the time these behaviors were expected and secondary to a young lady and were necessary and important for a man.
