How could we be about families and education without providing you with some sound education resources for human sexuality. We're using the term sexuality because the short version, sex, is about pretty simple stuff like how reproduction works. Sexuality is the broader term that embraces not just the reproductive basics, but all of the other thoughts, behaviors, feelings, and relationships related to our sex. We present here a curated set of resources on human sexuality. All of this content is "G" rated as there will not be photos or films of naked people. Not that we find anything wrong with the human form or the act of love making, but lets face facts if that's what you want to see the internet is rather full of all those images for the asking and clicking.
The video to the right is a presentation made for adults on the basics of Sexuality. This video was designed for incoming college students who may not have had very comprehensive sex education in high school.
Hey, sometimes is seems like sex and sexuality are, well everywhere. Yet there are many, many, many of us who lack even accurate understanding of our own sexual anatomy let alone how pleasure and sex combine. Then add in differences from cultures and religious upbringing, and the entanglement of shame with our sexuality. This growing list of local, national, and international resources on sexuality will continue to grow and expand your knowledge of sexuality.
