Designed to help students examine the many different dimensions of sexuality in a manner that speaks to them directly. Promoting a deeper understanding of personal sexuality, this text encourages students to assume responsibility for contributing to the sexual health of their communities as well as to explore the ethical dimensions of human sexuality.
A textbook for the "Just Say No" generation with a large dash of PC, discussing some of the pleasures of sex and a lot of the problems. Biological, psychological, and socio-cultural considerations are integrated to "enhance the sexual health and wellness" of students. Headings address themes including sexual communication, female and male anatomy and physiology, gender dimensions, sexual response and arousal, sexually transmitted diseases, sexual consumerism, and sexual ethics, morality, and law.
