Sexualities

Featuring both first-person narratives and more traditional research articles, this anthology addresses such key questions as: What is the social construct of sexualities? How is it more than a simple product of natural "urges" or "drives"? and How is the sexual personal, social, and political? Central to the book, is the incorporation of gender and sexual orientation as the axes, around which sexual identity and activity revolve.Table of ContentSECTION ONE: INTRODUCTION TO SEXUALITIES; 1.
