Discovering Human Sexuality, 4th Edition
ISBN-13: 978-1605356693
ISBN-10: 1605356697
Author: Simon LeVay (Author), Janice Baldwin (Author), John Baldwin (Author)
An evidence-based, accessible introduction to the study of sexuality and the diverse ways in which it brings joys and challenges to our lives. Now in its fourth edition, Discovering Human Sexuality has established itself as a popular and widely praised text that respects diversity both in the
sexual world and among the students who read it. The backgrounds of the authors–in biology, sociology, teaching, and writing–have made possible a text that is multidisciplinary, authoritative, sex-positive, and a delight to read.
The scope of Discovering Human Sexuality ranges from homosexuality in ancient Greece to the recent Harvey Weinstein sexual harassment scandal while covering a stunningly diverse array of topics. Questions considered include: How does the menstrual cycle work? What’s “splitting the bamboo”? Can
premature ejaculation be treated? If a man has undetectable levels of HIV, can he have sex without condoms? Which sex offenders will repeat their crimes? Is there a gay gene? What’s wrong with polygamy? Is emergency contraception abortion? Which bathrooms should trans women use? This book gives
factual answers to important questions and provides material for informed debate for issues without a single solution.
