Culling the vast literature on sexuality, this comprehensive volume
offers a timely, readable, and multidisciplinary portrait of
sexuality in close relationships. Sprecher and McKinney take an
extensive look at current theory and research in sexually-based
primary relationships, paying close attention to sexual attitudes,
sexual behaviors, sexual satisfaction, and sexual coercion. They
discuss sexual patterns in several types of sexual
relationships--dating, cohabitating, marital, and homosexual--and
show how sexual aspects of these relationships are related to other
characteristics, like love and communication. The authors also
explore sexual standards, predictors of sexual attraction, sexual
scripts, the initiation of sex, negotiating safe-sex behaviors, and
which types of couples are most sexually satisfied--and why. "This
volume is a rich source of information about ways that sexuality is
interrelated to relationship phenomenon. It provides a valuable
historical perspective on selected issues by reviewing older,
significant pieces of research. At the same time, recent and
important studies on current topics, are included; thus, the book
is solidly based on research findings. In addition, a number of
important methodological issues are presented in a clear
understandable manner throughout the chapters. This makes the book
ideal for instructors who want to emphasize to students that how
research is conducted is an important influence on what we know
about sexuality. Moreover, the tone and the high quality of the
writing make it ideal for use in upper division undergraduate
courses and graduate seminars, or for scholars who want to
familiarize themselves with this area of investigation. Finally,
the authors are to be complimented on their inclusion of different
types of relationships." --Journal of Marriage and the Family
