With its fresh, fun, and hip approach, SEEXUALITY NOW: EMBRACING DIVERSITY, 5E, helps teach readers what they need and want to know about seexuality while clearly conveying foundational biological and health issues and citing current and classic research. The new edition continues answering the questions and concerns that readers have about themselves and their seexuality with scientific fact, sensitivity, humor, and unmatched candor.

This edition includes even more examples and research on seexual diversity both within and across cultures.
