Sexuality in Adolescence considers the latest theory and research
on adolescent development, focusing on sexuality as a vital aspect
of normal, healthy maturation. Biological changes are discussed
within a social context, and the latest research is presented on
key issues of our time, including changes in teenage sexual
behaviours and beliefs, sexual risk-taking, body dissatisfaction,
sex education, teen pregnancy and abortion. Susan Moore and Doreen
Rosenthal explore the roles of parents, peers, the media, social
institutions and youth culture in adolescent sexual adjustment.
This volume covers topical issues ranging from the role of the
internet in adolescent romance to the pros and cons of abstinence
education versus harm minimization. Issues, such as whether there
are male-female differences in desire, sexuality, motives for sex,
and beliefs about romance are examined, along with the question of
whether a sexual double standard still exists. Maladaptive aspects
of sexual development, including sexual risk-taking, disease,
unplanned pregnancy, and sexual coercion are also covered. This
fully revised and updated second edition also addresses the crucial
issues of: sexual minority adolescents the social determinants of
adolescent sexuality sexual health as opposed to sexual illness.
This book aims to promote sexual well-being, and argues for the
importance of the adolescent period as a time for engendering
healthy sexual attitudes and practices. It will be valuable reading
for students in the social and behavioural sciences interested in
adolescent development and the topic of sexuality, and for
professionals working with young people.
