This comprehensive scholarly reference work provides authoritative coverage of the full range of topics in the study of human sexual behavior throughout the world.

This Encyclopedia contains five sections: sexual behavior, sexual orientation, relationships and reproduction, gender, sexuality and gender science.

Bringing together disciplines across the arts, humanities and social sciences, this Handbook presents novel and lively examinations of the dynamic ways religion, gender and sexuality operate.
