Human Sexuality: Diversity in Contemporary Society ,BY: William Yaber, Barbara Sayed
Instructions:
Explore past and contemporary research on sexuality. Discuss the issues that past and contemporary
researchers face when trying to measure sexual behavior, identity, and/or desire in sex research. Use specific
examples. Your response can include issues having to do with methods, ethics, and assumptions in asking
about sex in surveys. How have contemporary researchers tried to address past or current issues in sex
research?
explore the way in which sexuality is a social construct. What do sociologists mean when they say that
sexuality is a social construct? Explain. Support your explanation using 3 different course readings (you can
use more readings if you like) that demonstrate the idea that sexuality is a social construct. Make sure to
include an explanation for each reading that details how the reading demonstrates the idea that sexuality is a
social construct.
explore the complex relationship between sexual behavior, identity, and desire. Does sexual behavior always
determine sexual identity? If not, use the readings to demonstrate instances in which sexual behavior does not
determine sexual identity. What about lack of sexual desire/attraction—does the absence of sexual
desire/attraction mean the absence of a sexual identity? Can a person have a sexual identity in the absence of
sexual behavior and/or desire?
