Chapter 9

Lecture Notes

Sexual expression is a complex process through which we reveal our sexual selves. Sexual expression involves more than simply sexual behaviors; it involves our feelings as well. As human beings, we do not separate feelings from behavior, including sexual behavior. Our sexual behaviors are rich with emotions,

If we study sexual activities apart from emotions, we would distort the meaning of human sexuality. It involves both behaviors and feelings. In this lecture we will address sexual attractiveness, sexual scripts, autoeroticism, and sexual behavior with others.
