CFS 3601 - Human Sexualities
An introduction that explores human sexualities with a focus on the ability to form relationships that are integrative, creative, and recreative. There is also an emphasis on realizing personal potential within the context of life patterns, based on scientific research. Approaches human sexualities from a developmental perspective and considers historical, biological, physiological, social, cultural, and familial factors that impact human sexual development, values, beliefs, and behaviors. There is a strong emphasis on the socio-cultural construction of sexualities and the ways in which gender scripts, sexism, and heterosexism impact individual development and functioning. Relationship, sexuality, and spirituality are deeply intertwined, which is why the course considers these elements in addition to the biological and physiological aspects of sexualities.
