Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
In spite of its central importance in human relationships, the study of sexuality has been somewhat neglected by social psychologists. This reader brings together a fascinating selection of articles which examine sex as a social phenomenon: as a group of behavior patterns that people engage in together, under the influence of social pressures, and indeed as ways that people relate to each other.
Includes bibliographical references and indexes.
Part 1: Gender and sexual behavior -- Part 2: Nature and culture -- Part 3: Virginity -- Part 4: Sex and the peer group -- Part 5: Homosexuality and homophobia -- Part 6: Rape and harassment -- Part 7: Infidelity -- Part 8: Paraphilias -- Part 9: Pornography and desire.
