    This course offers a balanced scientific understanding of human sexuality from birth through adulthood.

Topics include sexual anatomy and physiology, conception and childbirth, contraception, sexual development, sexual orientation, sexual arousal and response, sex research, sexually transmitted infections, intimacy and relationships, variations in sexual behavior, and sexual coercion.
