Overview

Like eating and sleeping, sex is a natural, biologically-driven human behavior. Yet, as with eating and sleeping, we have much to learn. Having a healthy and satisfying sex life requires more than just factual knowledge about reproduction. Positive sexuality also requires self-knowledge: What are my sexual fears, my wishes, my challenges? What messages—from my school, my mother, my religion, my society—have I absorbed, and how do those messages affect me? What sexual decisions have I made that haven't been entirely satisfactory, and what sexual choices do I want to make in the future? Randyl Smith's My Sexuality Workbook is a learning tool, designed to supplement factual textbook knowledge with self-inspection. My Sexuality Workbook 's activities and exercises help students bridge the gap between sexual science and their own sexual attitudes and behaviors. Newly updated in 2019, My Sexuality Workbook Encourages readers to explore their thoughts, feelings, beliefs, values, concerns, and wishes, enabling them to come to a greater understanding of their own sexuality. Includes research excerpts, self-assessments, case studies, activities, resources, and other materials. Features a list of resources related to each topic, including widely available films, books, and Web sites that provide additional information or alternative perspectives. My Sexuality Workbook is organized around three components of one's sexual life: Sexuality: The Personal focuses on awareness of one's body, its responsiveness to self-touch, and its changes across the lifespan. Sexuality: The Relational explores relational sexuality, from healthy, appealing behaviors like flirting and falling in love, to problematic and even dangerous experiences like sexual dysfunction and sexual coercion.  Sexuality: The Cultural considers the power that religion, law, healthcare, and the media have in shaping societal sexual behavior—and how those cultural phenomena have influenced the reader's own sexuality.
