EXCO 380 - BioSexCo

1 credit
Does semen have antidepressant properties? Can an individual’s voice pitch reveal when they are ovulating? This ExCo is an introduction to the biology of human sexual behaviors. We will start by discussing the history of sexology and scientific techniques used to study sex. Then, we will cover the biological basis of attraction, arousal, orgasm, reproduction, and more. This course aims to empower students to gain a more robust understanding of human sexuality and to become more comfortable discussing sex in an academic setting. Prior biology coursework is not required.
