Our Sexuality

More about the book

This respected college textbook on human sexuality is cutting-edge and presented in a direct, non-judgmental manner. The latest edition has been thoroughly updated to reflect current research findings and is the first to emphasize the impact of politics on sexuality. The authors, Crooks and Baur, engage readers with exciting emerging research while focusing on promoting healthy communication among partners. The text has been revised to enhance coverage of responsible and healthy sexual relationships, placing greater emphasis on diversity and inclusiveness. A notable feature is "Sex and Politics," which explores how value judgments influence public policy and impact sexual knowledge and choices. For instance, information on various condom types was removed from the CDC website in favor of abstinence-only content, despite the lack of empirical support for its effectiveness. Additionally, the Author's Files present new stories reflecting real people's experiences. Important Notice: Media content referenced may not be available in the ebook version.
