Description: The Gender of Sexuality serves as a fun and informative guide on how to approach the topics of gender and sexuality--two areas fraught with stereotypes and misinformation. The second edition of this book features significant new material on the changing status of gender, same-sex marriage, and transgender. After introducing key concepts in gender and sexuality, the authors explore topics such as sexual desire, the role of biology, sexual behavior, uncommitted sexual relationships and "hooking up," marriage and cohabitation, and the politics of sexuality. Examples from popular culture, film, and media invite readers to engage with key concepts. This is an ideal book for courses on gender, sexuality, marriage and family, or social problems.
