As an instructor of Human Sexuality, I have used several textbooks over the years and I always find that (while adequate) there is always something missing from each of them. You know what that means ... buying and using more supplementary materials.

This is the first textbook I have ever seen that is simply PERFECT just the way it is. I will use it in every single one of my future classes. The students, faculty and staff agree. This is the one Human Sexuality book the whole world should read.

Bravo!

I ordered this book for a class that required the new edition. I had the opportunity to look at both editions and they are quite similar. The photos have been updated and there may be new addition added, such as current topics of reality tv, things of that nature. I've been able to complete every assignment with this older version with no problem. If you're a college student like me looking to save tons of $$, buy this older edition, you won't regret it!

I purchased this text online for my daughter's Human Sexuality class it was less expensive than the bookstore with shipping and handling. It arrived 48 hours after ordering therefore, she had it in time before the first reading assignment was due. I had a chance to take a glance it is contemporary. Often using examples from pop-culture. The language,photos and organization of the text was well thought out. Once my daughter starting reading the text she couldn't put it down. It is not often students find their college text so fascinating perhaps it is the topic?

WOW THIS BOOK, I LEARNED SO MUCH, AND THINGS THAT I NEVER KNEW AND THINGS THAT I HAD TO UNLEARN. VERY EXPLICIT, IS THE WAY TO LEAR TO KNOW WHAT'S UP WITH THE SITUATION. VERY WORTH TO OWN.

This book was used in a course required for my degree. I'm no expert on Human Sexuality, but the chapters seem to be written well, organized, and contain ample citations. However, one thing that comes across as severely unprofessional is the index. Almost every listing in the index seems to be two pages off. If the index lists page 300, it is a general rule to look on page 298. I am not exaggerating when I say almost all listings. It seems that every time I have looked up in the index listed the wrong page number. I can't say that absolutely every index entry is off, because I haven't looked up every term, but every term that I have looked up has been off. It was very aggravating at first, but I have become used to just subtracting two, then looking there.

Other than that, the book seems to fit the bill well.

I ordered this book for my class. It has some very interesting topics and works great with my college course.

this book came as promised new and on time. I scanned the book and i didn't see any ripped pages or writing in the book. Hopefully i am able to return it back to amazon so i dont end up paying 120 bucks for it.

I received the book in excellent condition. It is a very clear book and was very helpful for my papers on childhood sexuality and sexual dysfunction.

use it for my Soc class. Its an older version but it has all the same stuff as the newest one, they only moved the pictures around on a few pages

I was the book that I was looking for. Met the discription of the item. Recieved within a good amount of time!
