Dimensions of Human Sexuality 6/e Cover Image

Chapter Overview

A Dimension of Human Sexuality...Commercialization and Coercion. Sex is used to sell everything from soft drinks to alcohol, movies to magazines, clothes to cars, and travelers checks to tea. How far will society allow the media to go? You decide; you be the judge. Additionally, some have confused the act of sex with the acts of power and violence, which may be overwhelmingly frightening and confusing.. Whether of power or of violence, one must know what to do if such acts were to happen to them personally or to someone they know. The second part of this chapter will examine these dimensions of sexuality.
