First sentence: When we make individual decisions about events in our personal lives, we would like to think that we are making well-informed choices; in other words, that we know something about the potential benefits and risks involved and about our own values and motivations.
Description: "Most human sexuality texts focus on the individual, whereas texts designed for sociology courses on the family downplay individual sexual expression. Marital and Sexual Lifestyles in the United States integrates the two approaches. The choices of the individual take on additional meaning when seen within a unified historical, statistical, and conceptual framework."--BOOK JACKET.
