WELCOME TO OUR INTRODUCTION TO HUMAN TEXTBOOK . Whether you found this resource as a requirement for class or due to your own interest , we hope that you find this reading , engaging , informative , and accessible . Both Emerson Wolfe and teach human sexuality at Portland Community College . Over the course of the last five years , we found that human sexuality textbooks were typically behind in presenting current language , ideas , and contemporary research . Often this was because of author negligence but , rather , the delayed timelines of publication of materials . Additionally , the cost , even certain online versions , were just too expensive to be genuinely accessible to many of our students . Finally , many of the resources that were available for teaching human sexuality were still using a very Western , white , lens in presenting information , which we find to be restrictive to the vastness of human experiences with sexuality . This combination of factors led Emerson and to look for different options for class materials . Thankfully , the ability for us author , create , and compile a textbook on our own was made available in . Indeed , this resource would not be available without the support of Open Oregon Educational Resources . Using the framework of Open Education Resources ( Emerson and can use existing resources , as well as author our own content , and make this information digitally and freely accessible for a wide variety of students . As a result , this textbook is an organic and dynamic resource , and undergoes regular updating to ensure offering current , intersectional , and accessible information . You will find sections that are authored by other OER contributors sometimes with modifications from us . In other areas , the chapters are entirely designed and written by us and made available to other instructors using . We invite your feedback , Reader , as we view our students as being essential stakeholders and collaborators in this content . How This Book is Organized This textbook is divided into two parts because our teaching commitment has course content divided into two , separate terms ( Psychology 231 and Psychology 232 ) You will note that the first section , Reflections and Explorations in Human Sexuality , includes ten chapters ranging from Sexology to Gender to Sexual Behaviors . In many ways , Part I is a great example of introductory human sexuality and many of the subjects have personal application to one experiences and learning . Our second section , Part , is Professional and Clinical Topics in Human Sexuality and covers topics such as Sexuality Over the Lifespan , Sexually Transmitted Infections , and Sexual and Treatment . While our Part is still considered introductory in nature , it does have a more professional approach to topics in terms of learning . We feel , strongly , that all these subjects hold value for students personal and professional development whether they going into psychology , social work , gender and sexuality studies , nursing , public health , anthropology , or something else entirely . Final Thoughts Human sexuality is a richly diverse , engaging , sometimes challenging , and ultimately critical area of psychological inquiry . Emerson and respectfully strive to introduce this textbook as an inclusive and intersectional resource for learning about human sexuality . With that in mind , we also know that there will be ongoing ways to improve content . As previously stated , we invite feedback from our and seek to make your learning experience relevant , academically sound , and meaningful .

EMERSON WOLFE , Many thanks for being here and all the best for dynamic learning ! Emerson
