Course description
This course will explore introductory topics across the broad field of human sexuality. Sexuality is often an important part of a full life but what this means varies from person to person and can be influenced by several biopsychosocial factors. This evidence-based course will explore the diversity of human sexual functioning across the lifespan and will look at topics including sexual behaviour, attraction and arousal, anatomy, reproduction, health and contemporary issues in sexuality. Students will explore how socialization and values impact attitudes and choices around sex.
