The Cross-Cultural Study Of Human Sexuality

Author: Davis, D.

Description: Reviews the anthropological research on heterosexuality and homosexuality, including sexual variations such as prostitution, child molestation, rape, and bestiality. Other topics within research on heterosexuality include marriage, childrearing, incest, and sexual anxiety. Homosexuality research focuses on local customs, but a juxtaposition with local heterosexual practices also is needed. The ethics of cross-cultural sex research are also discussed. It is noted that despite the long list of references, the work is widely scattered over time and among cultures with little synthesis or follow-up, and there is a need for regional and topical analyses and summaries.
