Sexual education is still considered taboo by society, which results in adolescents having less knowledge about sexual education and searching for it from sources that cannot be accounted for. Education related to reproductive health and sexual life is needed so that adolescents can face their lives healthily and support adolescents in developing aspects of life skills and positive attitudes toward themselves. This study aims to see the effect of psychoeducation on literacy and sexuality in adolescents. Psychoeducation was conducted for one day at SMPN 3 Cipatat using an experiential learning model. The adolescents (N = 40) participated in a focus group discussion and completed pre and post questionnaire on their sexual life problems. The data obtained were compared using t-test analysis. The results of this psychoeducation for adolescent students of SMPN 3 Cipatat are a healthier perception of sexual life and more positive behavior toward their sexuality life after being given literacy, so adolescent students of SMPN 3 Cipatat experience more mentally healthy growth and development.
