When asked where and how they learned about human sexuality, most adults will reply that they learned about sexuality from their friends or from a health class in middle or high school. Some will simply roll their eyes and say that they learned about human sexuality from “the talk” with their parents. Few will say that they received open, in-depth education on the topic of human sexuality. The purpose of this workshop is to dispel myths and misconceptions about human sexuality and to provide students with the fundamentals of physiological and psychological determinants of human sexual behaviors and to examine social values and norms associated with human sexuality in contemporary American society. Workshop topics will include: sexuality research, sexual anatomy and physiology, reproduction, contraception, sexually transmitted infections, sexual coercion/sex crimes, consensual sexual behavior, gender identity, sexual development across the lifespan, sex and the media, sexual aids and enhancement, sexual dysfunctions and therapies, and sex and culture. The class will include lecture, discussions, group interaction, films and print media. Upon completion of this workshop students will be well informed about human sexuality in contemporary American society. This workshop will be of particular interest to counselors, social workers, psychologists, nurses, teachers, and anyone who wishes to expand their knowledge and understanding of human sexuality.
