PSYC 3651

Exclusion(s): Unavailable to students with credit for PSYC265 or PSYC365 Few topics raise controversy as quickly as discussions of human sexuality, yet it is normal human behaviour. Topics covered in this course include historical and cultural perspectives on sexuality, anatomy, hormones, conception and birth, contraception, sexual dysfunction, gender issues, arousal and communication, attraction and love, sexual orientation, sexually transmitted infections, erotica and pornography, sexual coercion and sexual variation. Students in this course will learn the human sexual response and how it interacts with cognitive and social processes that surround sex, in order to gain a better appreciation for the diversity of sexual practices and opinions.
