WS 205: Human Sexuality in Cross- Cultural Context
3.00 Credits
Widener University-Delaware Campus
This course concerns ideas of human sexuality and to a lesser extent, gender, in a cross-cultural context.

Once that is established, students look at sexuality as it is understood in a number of cultures, including our own. Topics include marriage systems of different types and how they regulate sex, what different cultures define as customary or "normal" sexual practice, and what are regarded as abnormal, sexual customs versus sexual practice, and sexual taboos and how taboos reflect masculinity, femininity, and other culturally defined sexual orientations.
