**COURSE SYLLABUS**

**The Psychology of Human Sexuality | Mondays 1:00pm-3:00pm | Department of Sexology at Harvard**

Dear Student: Welcome to Introduction to Human Sexuality!

The seminar is designed to expose students to the rich, complex world of human sexuality. For your assignments, you will be reading and critiquing a weekly selection of scientific papers on the subject of human sexuality. You will be assigned various articles from journals and other accredited publications including *The Archives of Sexual Behavior*, *Porn Studies*, *Sexualities*, and more. Topics examined in this course will include swinging, masturbation, polyamory, bisexuality, and the rise of the modern-day sex party. I will be facilitating the classroom discussion as well as conduct lectures, workshops, and other activities. I would like your thoughts on each of the distributed articles. Please comment on the reading’s distinct qualities, including the credibility and validity of the ideas, philosophies, and theories presented. Respectfully express your pleasure or distaste.
