Excellent edited reader for sexuality studies
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I've assigned this reader for use in my undergrad sexuality courses for several years, and my students consistently find the readings to be engaging and intellectually challenging. New editions continue to impress!
Everything about everything

This book is pretty amazing. I needed it for a human sexuality class that I am taking. The book is very blunt about everything, not tiptoeing around the more taboo, sensitive issues. I wish more school textbooks were written like this!
Amazing Book!

I bought this book for a class 3 years ago and I still refer back to it. There is a great collection of articles relating to sexuality issues and it is put together very well!
Everything You Wanted To Know About Sex

I took Dr. Stombler's Sexuality and Society class at Georgia State University for which this book is the text. It served as an excellent companion to the material she was covering, as well as just an all around great collection of informative and interesting articles. I'd recommend it (as well as the class itself) to anyone wanting to inform, and re-inform in some cases, themselves about sexuality.
Wonderful Book

I just loved this book! It's a collection of some very great pieces of work. I would recommend this book to anyone. In fact I have recommended it to all of my family and friends who have heard me talk endlessly about it. Those who've read a story or two from it cannot wait until I'm finished to start reading it!
