SOC 325 Human Sexuality
Section 01 on MW 2-3:15

The sociology of human sexuality is examined from a variety of theoretical perspectives. Topics covered in the course include the social and psychological nature of human sexual response, atypical sexual practices including bondage and transvestite fetishism, sexual dysfunction, sexual orientation and sexual identity, and the business of sex including pornography, prostitution, and strip clubs. The course also considers sexual response as part of romantic relationships and examines dating, marriage, divorce, and polyamory and other non-traditional forms of relationships. In light of COVID, the class is designed to be taught as a hybrid with in-class attendance available, however, it is also possible to complete the entire course online.  (For more information, contact Dr. Jim Beggan.)
