Experts address key issues—from attitudes and behaviors to harassment and homophobia—related to sexuality among college students.With essays by a wide range of knowledgeable contributors, Sex in College: The Things They Don't Write Home About draws on recent research to examine just about every aspect of its intriguing subject. The book begins with general chapters that offer historical, cross-cultural, and theoretical perspectives on college students' sexual attitudes and behaviors. One chapter offers a framework for understanding the unique developmental perspective of young adults. Another chapter explores the research methods used to study college students' sexual practices.Subsequent chapters cover: dating and intimacy on campus, the perspective of young adults about love, sexuality education and classes, and sexual orientation. The darker side of college sexuality is also examined in chapters centering on such topics as infidelity in college dating relationships, homophobia and sexual harassment on campus, sexual risk-taking and sexually transmitted infections, sexual problems and dysfunction among young adults, and sexual assault among college students.
Richard D. McAnulty is associate professor of psychology at the University of North Carolina, Charlotte, NC.

Michael Wiederman's discussion of various research methodologies and the problems inherent in conducting sex research will be helpful for those less experienced with research in this field. Several of the contributions (particularly those concerning negative campus climates) might prove illuminating for administrators involved with residence and student life.
