Description

While many aspects of sexuality (such as sexual orientation) are biologically determined, most sexual behaviors are the result of a decision. The title of this book, Human Sexuality: Making Informed Decisions, establishes the book's theme to encourage and take charge of your life view by making deliberate, informed sexual decisions. Young adults might recognize that by not actively making a decision, they have already made one by default. In this regard, making informed and deliberate decisions involves being aware of the options and consequences of the various choices and taking deliberate action.

Dr. Susan Milstein, a scholar in human sexuality, joins Dr. David Knox (coauthor) for this new edition. Dr. Milstein's contributions are evident throughout the text, especially in the vignettes on Technology and Sexuality. This topic is one of her specialties and is one of the courses she teaches at The George Washington University. The fifth edition of Human Sexuality: Making Informed Decisions builds on the features and strengths of previous editions, with new content on women's issues and a new chapter on pregnancy and childbirth. The chapters have been thoroughly revised, with more than 400 new research citations (many 2016 references). They also feature original data on 9,949 undergraduates who reveal their sexual attitudes and behavior.
