Description: Sexuality Education Across Cultures is the first book of its kind to focus on the effects cultural differences have on sexuality education. Author Janice M. Irvine demonstrates how cultural differences can profoundly shape beliefs about what it means to be a man or a woman and how these differences shape an individual's sexual thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

This important new book demonstrates how a better understanding of cultural differences can improve communication about sexuality and help to create more effective sexuality education programs.
