台灣性教育分爲萌芽期、推展期、性教育課程設立期。性教育的課程設立於1993年的「道德與健康」課程中，將「健康教育」課程分成10個類別，其中「家庭生活與性教育」分布在國小六個年級中；國中階段的「健康教育」則於1986年至1997年進行了課程修訂，使其具有「性教育」內涵，並在1998年訂定中小學「九年一貫」課程綱要，將國小及國中性教育放入「健康與體育」領域；2006年高中職性教育課程規劃「健康與護理」是延續國中性教育。 大學階段，最早在1979年以「性教育」放入課程的屬國立台灣師範大學衛生教育學系，至今有31年的歷史，接著是2001年樹德科技大學人類性學研究所，以「性教育」、「性諮商」、「性與社會」三個領域進行教導，「性教育」正式在大學開啟，並做師資培育工作，其他陸續於2005年有10所大學及21所技職院校加入性教育行列。
