Sex in College ─ The Things They Don't Write Home About

McAnulty (psychology, University of North Carolina-Charlotte) unites contributors in psychology, adolescent health, reproductive medicine, and public health to review recent empirical research on college students' sexuality. Several contributors are graduate students themselves, offering an insider's perspective. After a description of different methods and considerations for conducting research on college students' sexuality, early chapters review what we have learned from college students and outline the developmental context of emerging adults' sexuality and intimate relationships. Later topics include infidelity in college dating relationships, sexual harassment and homophobia on campus, and sexual risk-reduction interventions for college students. The book is aimed at a broad audience of sexologists, health educators, college teachers and administrators, and students. Annotation c2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
