    Description
    This course provides an introductory overview of the field of human sexuality, which is studied from psychological, biological, sociocultural, and historical perspectives. Students examine their own sexual attitudes, values, and behaviors to evaluate the consistency of their behaviors within their own moral frameworks. Current sex norms and various aspects of interpersonal and individual sexual adjustment are explored. Topics include the anatomy and physiology of sex, sex within relationships, alternative lifestyles, fertility management, contraception, sexual dysfunction, and social roles/attitudes. Destructive sexual behavior, rape and incest, paraphilias, and other sensitive subjects are presented in an explicit and scientific manner.
