"Human Sexuality: Function, Dysfunction, Paraphilias, and Relationships offers a wide inventory of all topics. What is most impressive is the bibliography. It is a tool that can be used in so many ways. My students are eating it up and hopefully they also will follow those guidelines in research on sexuality." --Louise F.
