Analyzing through a qualitative study, using as instruments the focus group and semi-structured interview, to determine the action of gender roles in sexual behavior at an early age. In addition, to know the most important effects that may have occurred, mainly observing a large disinformation gap, either due to its doubtful quality or lack of it, since it refers to the participants who were acquired from their relatives and friends, being this precarious and "full of myths." The information was collected through a semi-structured interview and a focus group endorsed by experts, which is divided into two categories: sexual behavior and gender role. In addition, the following sub categories: information, sexual practices, influences and selfperception. And finally, the following third order categories: background, contraceptive methods, first experience, emotional bonding, sexual relations, consequences, beliefs, social influence, cultural influence, self-image. Thanks to all of these, we could establish conclusions, considerations and recommendations. Once obtained this information, we proceeded to make a matrix with the exposed categories to group these results and then perform the analysis of the two instruments used. This analysis is performed for each dimension or tested area. Following this, there is a discussion between the compilation of theoretical information and the evidence through the xi results of the participants. As a result, we will proceed to establish the conclusions of the investigation, thus responding to the objectives set. The presence of the traditional role is identified by influencing the sexual behavior of adolescents mainly due to the “macho” cultural influence that is evident in Latin America and our country Colombia. However, it is noteworthy that there is a combination with the non-traditional role, this in relation to the search and carried out on an equal sexual behavior for both genders. Finally, regarding the aforementioned effects, the risk of pregnancy was due to lack of information and selfcare, being the most serious case that one of a participant who was pregnant.
