PSYC 3410 - Human Sexuality

Hours: 4
This class covers topics in human sexuality, including the biology of sexual behavior, the sexual response cycle, socio-cultural influences on sexuality, sex and reproduction, sexual deviance, and gender roles. The purpose of this class is to introduce students to theoretical and applied issues in the scientific study of human sexuality. We explore the biological, psychological, and cultural aspects of human sexuality in the context of the empirical research literature as well as students’ personal experiences and value systems. Human sexuality is a complex and often controversial subject, as it touches on deep personal feelings, beliefs, and experiences. This class aims to provide all students with an opportunity to examine, explore, and reflect on issues of sexuality in a safe, supportive environment. To facilitate this process, students are asked to respect diversity of opinion and ideas, remain open to growth and change, and seek to understand first and make informed judgments later.
Prerequisites: PSYC 1000 or 1050.
