I tried to use a couple of the readings for debates in Human Sexuality. I did not find the readings helpful this type of in-depth debate. First, the readings are often "arguments" that may or (often) may not be based on any evidence. Second, the issues that at first glance may appear to be "issues of debate" have already been resolved in the literature with overwhelming evidence in one direction. That being said, it can perhaps serve as a good starter for students to seek out further evidence or simply as a starter for discussions about controversial issues. Marie
