Human Sexuality will inspire you to think critically about the sexual world and your place in it. This accessible survey helps you develop a sexual philosophy based on choice, awareness and responsibility. By encouraging each reader to develop a personal sexual philosophy, author Roger Hock draws connections between key concepts and our real-life decisions and behaviors, boosting engagement with the course.

The 5th Edition has been updated to reflect the latest in this dynamic, ever-evolving field.
