Book Reviews of Our Sexuality
Book Review: Great and Interesting Read
Summary: 5 Stars
I acquired this textbook for a class in which I believed it would be another boring read. But upon the first chapter of the book, I could tell that this was not the usual sleeper. Filled with incredibly useful and relevent facts, up to date pictures and current events, Our Sexuality continues to push the boundaries of exploring a very intimate part of our daily lives. Covering everything from STIs, sexual fantasies, fetishes, rape knowledge, and the physiological responses to sexual stimulus, this book has something that everyone can learn about. Much more than a textbook, I use this as a personal reference for all things sexual. In the world of sexuality, there is no point in being modest, and this book bares it all.
Summary of Our Sexuality
This is the most respected and authoritative college textbook available on human sexuality! Cutting edge and written in a direct, non-judgmental manner, this new edition of Crooks and Baur's OUR SEXUALITY has been thoroughly and carefully updated to reflect the most current research findings. This new edition is the first college text to bring cutting-edge and in-depth emphasis on the impact of politics on sexuality. Sensitive, comprehensive, and candid scholars and teachers, the authors keep you interested with the most exciting, emerging research and coverage, and focus on strengthening healthy communication among partners. Crooks and Baur have also revised their overall coverage on maintaining a responsible and healthy sexual relationship, with greater attention to diversity and inclusiveness. Other highlights include a new feature called "Sex and Politics," that examines the issue of value judgments that become public policy and what this means to sexual knowledge and to sexual choices. For example: information on different types of condoms was pulled off the CDC Website and replaced by abstinence only information, despite the fact that there is no empirical support about the efficacy of abstinence only education. You'll also enjoy the "Author's Files," which include new stories about the experiences of real people.Psychology & Counseling Books
