Description
"This is the first societal level explanation of human sexuality that develops a cross-cultural explanation of all major types of sexuality. The reader will gain perspective on American sexual customs by becoming aware of areas of similarities and differences with other societies. The emphasis is upon a new way of understanding sexuality. Key areas of present-day concern are central to the development of this explanation. Accordingly, sexual jealousy, gender differences in power, notion of sexual abnormality, homosexuality, and erotica are discussed at length. There are all integrated into the final societal level explanation. No assumptions are made regarding the depth of professional background of the reader"--Dust jacket flap
