Research of adolescent sexuality in Slovenia begins at the transition, which is relatively late compared to other countries. The first studies in this field highlighted the issue of adolescent sexual behaviour for public health. They focused on knowledge of sexually transmitted diseases and the safety of sexual practices. Research focusing exclusively on the student population is rare because it is not representative. Intimate lifestyles of students in Slovenia (2018) is the first research on the sexual life of the student population in Slovenia. One of the research topics is also the partnership of student population. In this paper, we used the secondary data analysis of the mentioned research and tried to find out if students relationships in Slovenia have characteristics of late modernity. The characteristics of late modernity were measured through the presence of a pure relationship, the individual’s self-fulfilment, and the disappearance of traditional patterns. The results showed that the relationship of Slovenian students does have the features of late modernity. However, the key finding is that their relations have remained more traditional that we would expect.
