clipped from www2.hu-berlin.de

Robert T. Francoeur, Ph.D., A.C.S., General Editor

The International Encyclopedia of Sexuality brings together unique and invaluable information about patterns and trends in sexual attitudes and behavior in thirty-two countries around the world. Each chapter is written by a scholar or team of scholars very familiar with a particular country and its culture. Even when a chapter is written by a single author, that author has consulted with other specialists for advice and information to make sure the material in their chapter is accurate, up-to-date, balanced, and as objective as possible
In this International Encyclopedia of Sexuality, the reader can compare religious and ethnic factors affecting sexual behavior, gender roles, concepts of love and sexuality, sex education
masturbation, adolescent sex, courtship, marriage patterns, homosexuality
and bisexuality, gender-conflicted persons
rape and incest, sexual abuse and harassment
prostitution and pornography
huge resource.. an anti-ignorance device
