New to this Edition

Now lead authors, Bill Yarber of the Kinsey Institute and Barbara Sayad of the University of California, Monterey Bay bring their research experience to the book while maintaining the engaging writing style that the text is known for.
A new, contemporary design improves the look and feel of the book to make every page more accessible and visually appealing to students.
The popular SexSource CD from the last edition is moving online. SexSource Online gives students access to a wide range of high-quality videos on topics of key interest and importance. Videos are accompanied by pre-viewing assignments and post-viewing quizzes, and accessible for most major concepts in the book. Video stills from the movies are included in the book’s photo program, and relevant SexSource content is indicated by marginal icons.
Topics, examples, and illustrations are thoroughly updated as warranted by recent research and social and cultural developments.
Detailed coverage has been streamlined in a few key chapters including the introductory chapter, the sexually transmitted infections chapter, and HIV/AIDS chapter to make the material more manageable and accessible for students.
The sexuality across the lifespan material has been reorganized and expanded into two chapters to offer more coverage of adolescent sexuality and older adult sexuality.
The closely related chapters on love and communication have been condensed into a single chapter.
A new end-of-chapter pedagogical tool for students has been added: Questions for Discussion. These questions draw from topics and issues in the chapter and will promote critical thinking and application. The Questions for Discussion can serve as springboards for class discussion or writing assignments for students.
