CHAPTER SUMMARY
The chapter begins by describing the sexual beliefs, norms, and practices of Inis Beag and
Mangaia, two very different island cultures, to highlight the importance of culture and diversity
in human sexual expression. The authors suggest that making choices is a critical part of our
development sexually and propose that scientific information and morals and values can inform
sexual decision making. The breadth of information provided will permit the student to
understand psychological, biological and sociological aspects of sexuality. The introduction is
followed by a clarification of terms that will be used throughout the text. Of particular relevance
is the emphasis on conceptualizing sexual behaviour as something that goes beyond
reproduction.
The human sexuality field is described as interdisciplinary. The authors identify the examination
of values as essential to an understanding of human sexuality. The diversity of Canadian society
is discussed with particular emphasis on sexual attitudes and behaviours. Political, social and
religious differences between Canada and other countries are highlighted, with particular
emphasis on sexual scripts in Kenya. Comparisons between Canada and the United States are
drawn. The exploration of sex related behaviours and beliefs worldwide is introduced and related
to future chapters.
Ethical issues related to sexuality are raised, and the World Association for Sexual Health’s
(WAS) principles of sexual rights are introduced. Readers are informed of the importance of
critical thinking about sexual information, and suggestions for critical thinking are given.
The authors present historical, biological, cross-species, sociological, and anthropological
perspectives on human sexuality. The historical approach contextualizes sexuality by examining
the cultural mores and ethics of a particular time and place. The authors give a brief overview of
various societies throughout history. Issues such as bisexuality, homosexuality, pederasty,
sadomasochism and gender roles are described in light of the social and political context of each
society. The section ends with a brief introduction to the scientific study of human sexuality and
recent trends and advances in the study of human sexuality.
The biological perspective focuses on the roles that genetics, the nervous system and other
biological factors play in human sexuality. The cross-species perspective provides an
introduction to analogues of human sexual behaviour. It also points to the fact that as we climb
the “evolutionary ladder,” psychosocial factors start acquiring a greater relevance in determining
the occurrence and "quality" of the sexual response. The sociological and anthropological
perspectives emphasize the ways that cultural context shape sexual behaviour. The sociological
perspective asserts that social factors (socioeconomic status, gender) will affect our sexual
values, beliefs and behaviours.
Finally, the authors suggest that considering multiple approaches is the most effective way to
understand the complexity and range of human sexual behaviour.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES

perspectives on human sexuality.
7. Explain the contributions and limitations of cross-species comparisons of sexual behaviour.
USING THE ACTIVITIES AND ADDITIONAL LECTURE MATERIAL
I. Choices, Information, and Decision Making
II. What is Human Sexuality?
• Activity I: This is a good activity to do on the first day of class. Ask students to make a
list of sexual topics that they think might be covered during the entire course. You can
then discuss these topics and the emotions they elicit in students and use this as an
introduction to some of the topics you will be covering in the course.
III. Sexuality and Ethics
IV. Sexuality and Spirituality
V. Thinking Critically about Human Sexuality.
• Activity II: Have your students use their critical thinking skills to evaluate a series of
statements. Have students break up into pairs or small groups to start and then discuss as
a group.
