the Social Context of Human Sexuality

This course examines the social basis of attitudes and behaviour related to human sexuality.

Some of the areas to be considered are: premarital, marital and non-marital sexuality; sexuality and liberation; sexuality and interpersonal relations; sex codes and personal codes; sex and gender role socialization, etc.
