Sexual health information is emphasized throughout. Also available, MindTap digital learning solution.

What's New

Updated with current research, this inclusive text covers "our" sexuality in an accessible, straightforward manner, with emphasis on the historical background and politics of human sexuality.

Features

OUR SEXUALITY helps you increase your students' sexual intelligence. In Chapter 1, the authors introduce the first of four components included in their definition of sexual intelligence: knowing the critical role that politics play in sexual arenas. The other three components of sexual intelligence covered in the text include understanding oneself sexually, having interpersonal sexual skills and integrity, and knowing accurate scientific sexual information.
The text explores the similarities in the human experience of sexual and relationship matters that cross cultural boundaries and sexual orientation lines. Insightful "Author Files" features quote real people's experiences and attitudes, enabling students to discover that they're not so different from everyone else. In addition, Sexuality and Diversity sections are highlighted in every chapter.
The Sex and Politics sections in each chapter examine the issue of value judgments that become public policy and what this means to sexual knowledge and sexual choices. Examples include "The Power of Pro-Life Anti-Contraception Politics", "Antigay Harassment/Bullying of Teenagers", "Sex Research under Siege", "Abstinence Only Sex Ed", "Abortion Restrictions at the State Level” and “FOSTA-SESTA: The Politics of Sex Work”.
"Sexual Health" icons in the margins flag sexual health information within every chapter, while additional in-depth topics are found in special boxes, including "Genital Self-Exam for Women", "How to Examine Your Breasts", "Male Genital Self-Examination" and "Dealing with Sexual Assault".
Reflecting the latest developments, "Spotlight on Research" boxes present the most up-to-date research -- as well as research controversies -- from the field of sexuality.
Critical Thinking questions integrated throughout encourage students to stop, think and apply knowledge and experience while developing their personal perspective of sexuality.
