内容説明
The authors of this text on human sexuality address diversity in detail. They also include coverage of 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 authors demonstrate a commitment to celebrating and highlighting cultural and social diversity; for the seventh edition, they have updated many of the cross-cultural examples, included more in-chapter coverage of multicultural differences, and provided more frequent examples of gays, lesbians, and bisexuals throughout.
