Human Sexuality, 3rd Edition

by Roger R. Hock

Choice, Awareness, Responsibility Human Sexuality, Third Edition , helps students develop and design their own sexual philosophy. Every chapter begins with actual student questions from the author's files during nearly 20 years of teaching the human sexuality course. Throughout each chapter the questions are answered and new ones are posed--encouraging students to think critically, analyze, and apply the material in personally relevant ways. Hock takes a psychosocial approach, infused with biological foundations throughout the text. The book focuses on topics that are most critical and of greatest relevance to students' personal lives and their interactions with others, and on how these topics affect them emotionally, psychologically, and interpersonally. This student-centered approach is incorporated into the text's discussions of all areas of psychological, social and biological (including medical issues, sexual health, sexual anatomy and sexual physiology). Sensitivity to diverse groups, not only in terms of race and ethnicity, but also in terms if sexual orientation, age, sexual knowledge, and sexual experience allows all students to feel as comfortable and open about sexual topics as possible.

Well paced and readable introductory material for people unfamiliar with human reproductive biology. Also contains a lot of newer and more detailed information for people who have a solid foundation in biology and reproductive science/psychology. Even though I thought myself very familiar with the topic, this book managed to fill in some missing gaps that I did not realize I had. Overall I highly recommend it to anyone.

Respected, informative & will written book. It is useful for anyone to understand himself better & will make a good reflection on his relationships.
Quick takeaways from the books:
- Humans are sexual creations by nature

- Sex organ size around humans (especially males) to great extend are of the same size.
- Your sexual life can greatly enhanced with your partner if you know what you like the most & what the other like a most. A discussion to understand this make a great difference in the sex enjoyment.
- Older people are still interested in sex, but they might do it fewer times than young ones.
