Changes of sexual behaviour in the contemporary Western societies have been often designated as a new sexual revolution. Although its accounts differ in many respects, they converge in the idea that the new sexual revolution has been related to the processes of rapid individualization, rationalization and differentiation of sexual behaviour. Drawing on theories of occidental modernization, the article claims that these processes have influenced the transformation of sexual behaviour much longer and in a less revolutionary way than assumed by the theorists of new sexual revolution.

The article analyses the history of research on sexual behaviour in Slovenia: content of the research, the way it was carried out, and the research tradition. The research started at the beginning of the nineties. Previously there was some research on contraceptive and reproductive behaviour. The majority of surveys are in the field of public health, however surveys do not differ in organisational and methodological aspects. The only difference is that social science surveys included questions on positive aspects of sexual behaviour, while public health survey focused on negative aspects.
