About this title

Synopsis

Designed for courses in Human Sexuality, which may be found in several departments, such as psychology, health, sociology, biology, gender and women's studies, human ecology and physical education.

This text takes a fresh approach to the study of human sexuality. It provides the latest scientific findings in the field and helps students acquire a broader view of human sexual experience by examining multiple perspectives on human sexuality. The historical, biological, cultural, and sociological perspectives are all examined in this text. Essentials of Human Sexuality, Canadian Edition, connects four key themes throughout the text: 1) The rich diversity found in gender roles, sexual attitudes, sexual behaviours and customs in Canada and around the world 2) critical thinking; 3) making responsible sexual decisions; and 4) sexual health. Students will find this practical, hands-on approach to the study of human sexuality a relevant and enriching experience.

From the Back Cover

Before making a personal decision about sexual activity, people need to be informed and educated about the realities of AIDS, STDs, sexual behavior, etc. This book provides readers with a core knowledge-base from which they can make well-informed decisions. The authors were the first to incorporate information about sexual trends and practices both across the US and around the world. This well-written and informative reference invites readers to explore and learn without fear and embarrassment about the human body. Topics include: female and male sexual anatomy and physiology, sexual response and behavior, gender, attraction and love, communication, conception, contraception, and much more. Anyone interested in human sexuality -- from educators and parents to sociologists and psychologists.
