New edition of an authoritative guide to human sexual behavior from a biopsychosocial perspective

The Psychology of Human Sexuality is a comprehensive guide to major theoretical perspectives on human sexuality and the vast diversity of sexual attitudes and behaviors around the world, withbroad coverage of topics including anatomy, gender and sexual orientation, sexual behaviors, sexual difficulties and solutions, prostitution, and pornography. Written from a sex positive perspective with material that is inclusive and respectful of a diverse audience, the text includes cutting edge research on the origins of sexual orientation and gender identity, as well as new treatments for sexually transmitted infections and diseases.

To aid in student learning, the text is accompanied by online resources, including a test bank and instructor slides. Separate chapters deal with attraction and relationship processes.

The Psychology of Human Sexuality includes information on:
* Formerly sound sex science studies that researchers have failed to reliably replicate since the 2nd Edition was published, and the greater "replication crisis" in the field
* "Graysexual" identities that fall on the spectrum between sexual and asexual, and the sex recession of modern times
* Recent studies that shed light on sexual behavior in cultures that have previously been the subject of very little study
* Sex and disability, and "take-home messages" to allow readers to implement beneficial changes in their lives

An important and comprehensive text provides readers with a better understanding of, and appreciation for, the science of sex and the amazing complexity of human sexuality, The Psychology of Human Sexuality is an essential resource for students of human sexuality in both intermediate and advanced undergraduate courses.
