Human Sexuality in a Changing World provides a clear overview of this diverse field, aimed at helping you see the effects of both biology and culture upon human sexuality. In order to foster an impactful, personal learning experience, authors Spencer Rathus and Jeffrey Nevid encourage you to reflect upon your own beliefs and experiences as you read.

The 11th Edition offers the latest research in the field, as well as updated coverage of contemporary topics such as the outcomes of gender-affirmation surgery and the evolutionary view of sexual attractiveness. Other topics receiving new coverage include sex dolls and artificial intelligence (AI) and factors that increase or decrease the probability that individuals at risk for HIV infection will use PrEP.
