COURSE DESCRIPTION
Examination of human sexuality from a variety of perspectives: cultural, sociological, physiological and psychological. Issues examined from viewpoints such as gender, individual, family, and professional roles.
This course addresses diversity in detail and also includes coverage of the latest research on such topics as the depiction of sex in the media, sex in cyberspace, gender identity issues, breast implants, prostate cancer treatments, contraception technology, sexual orientation, artificial insemination, and sexually transmitted diseases. The title of the textbook is SEXUALITY NOW: EMBRACING DIVERSITY 4th Edition- an explicit acknowledgment that, for all of our differences, we all share the human experience of many sexual and relationship matters. Such matters cross cultural boundaries and sexual orientation lines: the body’s physiological arousal and response to pleasure; overcoming the green-eyed monster of jealousy and communicating more effectively; the variety of sexual behaviors that can be explored; treatment possibilities for sexual dysfunctions; the need to protect ourselves from STDs; how our sexual satisfaction can improve with age even as the body changes; and how we help those who have been victimized by sexual attack, etc.

POINT OF UNDERSTANDING:
This course will address numerous biological and social factors related to the many aspects of human sexuality. Some of the educational materials used in this course may be perceived as graphic and explicit in nature. Your continued enrollment in this course indicates that you are aware of the nature of the material and that you consent to the presentation of the material.
Human Sexuality 301 is a course designed to provide each of us with the opportunity to explore issues of general interest and curiosity regarding various aspects of sexuality. The goal is not to be sensational or outrageous, liberal or conservative, clerical or secular, moralistic or hedonistic. In other words, there is no intent to advocate. Rather, each person is encouraged to make the most responsible choices about sexuality based on the best information and most complete knowledge available.
We wish to join in a scholarly inquiry of the issues independent of the inevitable differences of opinions that can exist in a class. Sexuality is by no means a simple biological function. It is, in fact, an emotionally charged, complex subject which unfortunately, provides few simple answers to realistic questions. Topics have been incorporated in the course that are felt to be of interest to all students. Students should feel that they have equal access and opportunity for contribution to the discussion forum, and equal access to the instructor for questions and concerns.
NOTE: Each chapter in the text lists useful Web sites related to human sexuality. They are listed at the end of each chapter; use them to your advantage for increased success in the course. ALSO…..the publisher’s website also offers student’s resources to enhance learning….it is to your advantage to search it.
