Dimensions of Human Sexuality 6/e Cover Image

Revision Changes

  • Streamlined Organization ensures maximum utility of text for a one-semester course. The new edition now contains 18 chapters versus the 22 in the previous edition.
    • Combined/streamlined chapter 1 (Thinking About Human Sexuality) with chapter 2 (Understanding Human Sexual Behavior) to form one easy-to-use introduction to the course.
    • Removed chapter 12 (Sexual Dysfunction) and integrated relevant material on sexual dysfunction within chapter on sexual response
    • Removed chapter 17 (Sexuality and Aging) and integrated relevant material
    • Combined chapters 21 (The Commercialization of Sex) and 22 (Coercive and Violent Sexual Behavior)
  • Go Ask Alice questions, a classic feature of this text, has been enhanced to direct students to the popular Columbia University Web Site Go Ask Alice.
  • NEW! Material on sexual orientation integrated throughout. Integration of hetero, homo, and bisexual perspectives shows readers that all forms of sexual expression are “normal”, and that homosexuals face the same problems and joys in sexual expression as heterosexuals. This integration prevents the treatment of homosexuality as a “special case” or disorder.
