Excerpts
Read moreThere has never been a greater need for human sexuality education than at the beginning of the 21st century. Unfortunately, with the AIDS crisis and high teenage pregnancy rate, a lot of important information has been presented in a negative way. Although one of my goals in writing this book is for students to understand the relevant facts in order to make responsible decisions in their daily lives, an equally important goal has been to present the information in a warm, non-threatening way that leaves students with positive feelings about sex and their own sexuality. When I began to write this text I recalled my students' complaints about the dryness, sterility, and length of books I had used previously. So with them in mind, I tried to create a book that was factual and thorough, yet readable and interesting. Thus I have included numerous case studies (most contributed by my own students!) to supplement and make more personal the substantial coverage of scientific studies. Although my writing style is purposely conversational, I have worked hard to maintain the scientific foundation of my presentation. This fifth edition has well over 2,000 references for students who wish to use the book as a resource. In addition, the section on HIV/AIDS is as thorough and up-to-date as can be found in any human sexuality textbook. The final test for any textbook is whether or not students will read it, learn from it, and enjoy it. As a result of feedback from students and reviewers, the book has continually evolved in an attempt to create an ever-better product. The fifth edition has major reorganization of the material in Chapters 4 (Sexual Responses) and 15 (Sexual Problems and Therapy) to better reflect the many contributions of feminist scholars, and also to Chapter 16 (Paraphilias) to better show the relationship among the many paraphiliac behaviors. Chapters 8 (Communicating about Sex) and 9 (Sexuality as a Social Concept) were expanded a bit, and all chapters were thoroughly updated. In addition, Prentice Hall and I have worked hard to improve the illustration program. The cost of textbooks to students has become an increasing concern to many. Besides the cost of the primary textbook, already prohibitive for some, there is the added cost of a student's study guide. However, because it has been the goal of Prentice Hall and myself to publish a high-quality textbook at the lowest possible expense to the students, the Student Study Guide is included at the end of each chapter at no additional cost to the student.
