Analysing excerpts from a large interview database, the paper examines the content, rhetorical structure, and apparent function of adolescents' moral argumentation in commentaries about sex. We compare the approaches of cognitive science and discourse analysis to the topic of adolescent sexual cognition, concluding that the discourse approach is more successful in identifying underlying gender-related ideological conflict. We conclude that if an ideology mobilizes a great deal of rhetorical and self-justificational energy, then sexual behaviour may also be affected by that ideology since personal behaviour is itself a major asset/liability in moral self-presentation. We suggest that altering the content of risk reduction interventions so as to encompass issues related to gender ideology may facilitate exposing the rationale of relevant sexual behaviours to examination and possible change. En s'appuyant sur une analyse d'extraits d'entretiens provenant d'une large banque de données, cet article examine le contenu, la structure rhétorique et la fonction apparente de l'argumentation moral des adolescents en matiére de sexualité Nous comparons les approches des sciences cognitives et de l'analyse du discours en ce qui concerne les connaissances sexuelles des adolescents, et nous en concluons que la seconde approche est plus apte à identifier les conflits idéologiques sous-jacents liés aux difféerences entre les gennes. Nous en conclusons que si une idéologie mobilise beaucoup d'énergie rhétorique et auto-justificative, alors le comportement sexuel peutétre influencé par cette idéologie, puisque le comportement personnel est lui-même un atout/handicap majeur dans la façon de donner une image de soi au plan Moal. La modification du contenu des interventions de reductionues risques, en penant en compte les questions fills à l'idéologie de gennes, peut facilite l'analyse, pour les adolescents eux-mêmes du nationnel de les compatement sexuel, et faissier leur changement. Analizando las citas de una gran base de datos de entrevistas, en este documento se examina el contenido, la estructura retórica, y la función aparente de la argumentación moral de las adolescentes en sus comentarios sobre sexo. Comparamos los enfoques de la ciencia cognoscitiva y del análisis del discurso con los conocimientos que las adolescentes tienen sobre temas sexuales, que el enfoque de para concluir discurso tiene más éxito un identificar el conflicto ideológico subyacente relacionado con el género. Concluimos que si una ideología moviliza una gran cantidad de energía retórica y autojustificable, el comportamiento sexual tambíen puede verse afectado por esa ideología dado que el comportamiento personal es en sí mismo una cualidad o responsabilidad importante para la presentación moral. Sugerimos que cambiando el contenido de las intervenciones de reducciónde riesgos para abarque cuestiones relacionadas con la ideología de género, se podría exponer con más facilidad la razón de ser de muchos comportamientos sexuales relevantes, para su análisis y posible cambio
