Human Sexuality, Third Edition, helps students develop and design their own sexual philosophy.

Every chapter begins with actual student questions from the author's files during nearly 20 years of teaching the human sexuality course. Throughout each chapter the questions are answered and new ones are posed--encouraging students to think critically, analyze, and applythe material in personally relevant ways. Hock takes a psychosocial approach, infused with biological foundations throughout the text. The bookfocuses on topics that are most critical and of greatest relevance to students' personal lives and their interactions with others, and on how these topics affect them emotionally, psychologically, and interpersonally. This student-centered approach is incorporated into the text's discussions of all areas of sexuality: psychological, social and biological (including medical issues, sexualhealth, sexualanatomy and sexual physiology). Sensitivity to diverse groups, not only in terms of race and ethnicity, but also in terms if sexual orientation, age, sexual knowledge, and sexual experienceallows all students to feel as comfortable and open about sexual topics as possible.
