As the anthropological study of sex becomes more focused within the
discipline, this volume offers a cross-section of current research
that examines the biological and cultural interface of sexuality.
Through articles dealing with the difficulties in obtaining
observational data and the relationship between biological and
cultural influences, the contributors seek to understand why
anthropology has not been better able to integrate behavioral and
ideological approaches. Contributions range from methodological
concerns such as the proposal for more holistic studies and the
problem of relying strictly on people's reports of their sexual
behavior, to substantive issues such as cultural implications of
biological research and how different cultures distinguish between
romantic love and erotic sex. Integrating a wide range of
viewpoints, the volume demonstrates that the study of sexuality is
becoming more relevant to anthropology and provides a touchstone
for scholars confronted with an increasingly bewildering array of
approaches to this topic.
