Sexuality is a topic that intimately impacts our lives, but it is an aspect of health that is often ignored and misunderstood. This course aims to educate students about issues in sexual health and sexual diversity such as: a) sexual desire and response, b) sexual and gender identity development across the lifespan, c) LGBT health, d) contraception e) sexually transmitted infections, f) sexual dysfunction and g) healthy sexual communication.

As many people get their information about sex primarily from the Internet, students in this course will contribute to the knowledge base by editing a Wikipedia page on a topic related to sexual health or sexual diversity.
