Review # 1 was written on 2013-11-29 00:00:00 Parag Goyal Sexuality Today is a textbook I just finished reading for my Psychology of Human Sexuality course. Its main strength is also its weakness: Most of the book focuses on biological, medical, and sociological aspects of human sexuality in addition to focusing on the psychological aspects. This is a strength of the book because it gives the Reader a clear sense for the full scope of what is known about human sexuality. But it is also a weakness of the book because a psychological book, I think, should be mainly focused on (1) correctly assessing and diagnosing what would constitute some rough-and-rocky idea of healthy human sexuality and certain kinds of sexual disorders, and (2) positively treating sexual disorders and encouraging people to express their healthy sexuality. This textbook does not follow this approach, for better or for worse.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-11-30 00:00:00 Peter Knowlton This was the textbook for my psychology elective class on Human Sexuality. It was better than most books I've read lately though it didn't offer too terribly much to me in terms of novel information. I would say it is worth the read and that every human being's sexuality education should extend beyond the safe-sex information often offered in sex-ed classes in high school. I did take issue with some of the information in this book that I felt was inaccurate. I took things with a grain of salt because the field of sexology is a very new field which is wanting in much scientific research.
