Abstract
Deception is presented as a “design to defeat a design” (Thompson 1986, p 64) where one actor purposefully changes the environment with the intention on generating a less adaptive response from
another actor. The shared context combined with the indeterminacy of meanings makes deception not only possible, but also
an important strategy for adaptation. In this regard not all deception temporarily causes individuals to reorganize their
meaning making hierarchy around the changes made by the other party. Different uses of deceptions are explored with regards
to adolescent sexual conduct, as their complex and quickly changing representations necessitate social recognition and adaptation.
