This course examines the cognitive, cultural, biological, psychological, and socioemotional perspectives of human sexuality with the primary focus on the psychological perspective and its impact on individuals and society. The broad goal of this course includes an increased knowledge of the diverse aspects biological, developmental, and scientific aspects of human sexuality, in addition to developing a greater awareness of self and others. Some of the topics that will be covered are sexual relationships, sexual communication, sexual behaviors, sexual orientations, paraphilias, sexual aggression, pornography, and prostitution. Having a basic understanding of human sexuality will help students to develop and maintain a personal philosophy concerning sexual attitudes, decision-making, and behavior, which, in turn, can help them as future parents, educators, or counselors to better understand the process of human sexual development.
