Hock's Human Sexuality, Second Edition, takes an interpersonal approach to human sexuality. The central message of the text is developing and defining your own sexual philosophy. Every chapter begins with actual student questions. Throughout the chapter the questions are answered and new ones are posed--encouraging students to think critically, analyze, and use the material in personally relevant ways. Hock takes a psychosocial approach, focusing on those topics that are most critical and of greatest relevance to the students' personal lives, their interactions with others, and how these topics affect them emotionally. This student-centered approach is incorporated into the text's discussions of all areas of sexuality--psychological, social and biological (including medical, health, anatomical and physiological). Sensitivity to diverse groups, not only in terms of race and ethnicity, but also in terms if sexual orientation and age, allows all students to feel as comfortable and open as possible.

Review
...this is my first semester using this text and I have been pleasantly surprised at the students' ability to read and understand the material as compared to students with similar skills using a different textbook last year. Exam scores are up and I promise you it is not because students suddenly started studying more! ....I really love this text. It is quite different from anything else I've seen, and I've looked at most of the sexuality texts out there.
Callista Lee, Fullerton College
I find Roger Hock's textbook to be the most up-to-date, the most thoroughly researched and visually pleasing of all the Human Sexuality textbooks.

From the Back Cover
Human Sexuality encompasses far more than "just sex." Sexuality is fundamental to our identities as humans and it is a complex and multi-faceted subject. More than likely, you already have ideas developed around some of the topics contained within this text. You may have questions about information you've received from the media, or friends, or from prior sex education. Perhaps you are struggling with thoughts or feelings about your own sexual identity. With an emphasis on choice, awareness, and responsibility, Roger R. Hock's Human Sexuality will provide you with information and knowledge that you can apply and use for the rest of your life.

Everyone should have a copy.,

This review is from: Human Sexuality (Hardcover)
This is a college text but I purchased it for my teen and I am glad I did. Every parent should be armed with this information to help older children figure out what human sexuality is all about.
I wish I had this information when I was younger and I am glad I read it. It got me thinking about my personal values and learning a few new things as well. I am old enough that I thought I new everything there was to know but more importantly, it helped me connect with a younger generation.

This review is from: Human Sexuality (Paperback)
I was required to purchase this book for my class. It's easy to read and understand. I especially like the fact I do not have to highlight vocabulary because they are again defined at the bottom of the page it appears on.
The online study guide is very useful as well.

Good Textbook,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Human Sexuality (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
I use this for my Human Sexuality class at OSU, with Dr. Cravens-Brown, highly recommend her class. The book has several relevant pictures, includes non-hetero normative pictures, topics and language and has very accessible language. Buy it and sell it back when you're done, that's what I'm doing. Good textbook.
