Description

For undergraduate courses in Human Sexuality, Marriage and Family, Intimate Relationships, Love and Intimacy

 

With an interpersonal focus, Hock's Human Sexuality emphasizes the choice, awareness and responsibility that is integral to a planned, proactive, and well-educated sexual philosophy.

 

Using an interpersonal, psycho-social foundation that approaches core content from a student perspective, this text focuses on the topics that are most critical and of greatest relevance to the students’ diverse personal lives and their interactions with others. Written in a casual, easy-to-read, conversational style that will help them be more comfortable with and more connected to the course material, Roger Hock encourages and challenges students to consolidate the ideas and knowledge gained from the text into the growth of his or her personal sexual philosophy. 


Features

 

Interpersonal focus

  • Emphasizes the choice, awareness and responsibility that is integral to a planned, proactive, and well-educated sexual philosophy. Presents current and accurate scientific information in a way that is understandable and relevant to the lives of students.

CHOICE

  • Your Sexual Philosophy -  Used to help prepare and guide students as they are faced with choices about sexual attitudes and behaviors, or are in a position to advise someone else on sensitive, personal, yet crucial life issues. By knowing who they are, what they want and don't want, and planning ahead, they will be in charge of sexual situations as they arise in their lives instead of the situations being in charge of them. (examples, pgs. 139, 436, 513)
  • Since You Asked - Each chapter opens with a list of approximately 10 to 15 questions taken from actual anonymous 3 X 5 cards submitted by students. Each question is referenced to a page number in the chapter where the answer and discussion of the issue may be found. (examples, pgs. 37, 53, 189)
  • Focus on Your Feelings - The study of human sexuality sometimes evokes unexpected or uncomfortable emotional reactions to provocative topics. Focus on Your Feelings is designed to alert students to these possible reactions, reassure them they are normal, and let them know they are not the only ones feeling them. (examples, pgs. 7, 96, 228)

AWARENESS

  • Self-discovery - Offers students opportunities throughout the text to learn about many of the characteristics that make them unique people, from a sexual perspective. Various examples include self-tests; examination of their sexual preferences and behaviors; enhancing their sexual satisfaction in life; and appreciating the rich diversity of human sexuality. (examples, pgs. 201, 242, 278)
  • In Touch with Your Sexual Health - Increasing awareness of sexual health is a guiding theme for this book. This frequently recurring feature is present whenever a relevant health issue arises in the text requiring extra attention and explanation. These may involve sexual infections and diseases, disorders in normal functioning of the sexual body, unhealthy aspects of sexual activity and relationships, or sexual issues that may cause psychological or emotional pain or discomfort. (examples, pgs. 84, 134, 316)
  • Sex is more than intercourse - This feature reminds you that a wide range of sexual activities besides intercourse can provide sexual intimacy and satisfaction without engaging in risky behaviors. (examples, pgs. 77, 208, 259)
  • Sexuality and Culture - The world of human sexuality is rich with cultural, sub-cultural, and ethnic diversity. In addition to a multicultural approach to sexuality throughout, chapters will include one or more Sexuality and Culture features that will discuss specific topics from the perspective of diverse cultural practices and customs. (examples, pgs. 42, 78, 397)

RESPONSIBILITY

  • Evaluating Sexual Research - Feature will occur when issues arise that require students to be critical and skeptical of studies relating to human sexuality, before accepting the results as fact. Through decades of sexual research, findings have been reported that may be based on flawed surveys, research methods, or simply erroneous conclusions, yet they continue to influence people’s ideas and perpetuate myths and misconceptions.  This feature will help you to become a more skilled and analytical consumer of sexual research findings. (examples, pgs. 45, 203, 528)
  • Sexuality, Ethics, and the Law - Feature is included whenever such issues are relevant to a particular topic in any of the chapters in this text. Examples include the ethical dilemma of informing partners about sexually transmitted infections; laws pertaining to relationship abuse and violence; sodomy laws; the ethics and legal aspects of prostitution; ethical considerations of sex pre-selection in childbirth; and the ethics of castration of child molesters. (examples pgs. 344, 507, 582)
  • Have You Considered...? - 6 to 10 questions at the end of each chapter that generally do not have right or wrong answers, but require students to apply the concepts of the chapter to themselves, in a relevant scenario, and decide what they would do. This allows them to think more deeply and, perhaps, more personally, about the material and relate it to their own lives. (examples, pgs. 187, 269, 588)
  • Historical Perspectives - A brief story that highlights people or events that were significant in the history of the topics discussed in the chapter. These "glimpses of history" are included in the chapters as an enjoyable, relevant, and understandable alternative to an entire, separate chapter on the history of human sexuality. (examples, pgs. 34, 140, 224)

Human Sexuality encompasses far more than "just sex." Sexuality is fundamental to our identities as humans and it is a complex and multi-faceted subject. More than likely, you already have ideas developed around some of the topics contained within this text. You may have questions about information you've received from the media, or friends, or from prior sex education. Perhaps you are struggling with thoughts or feelings about your own sexual identity. With an emphasis on choice, awareness, and responsibility, Roger R. Hock's Human Sexuality will provide you with information and knowledge that you can apply and use for the rest of your life.
