New! Online Resource: Sex & Sexuality Part I

Posted on by

I am pleased to report that Oxford University members now have access to the Adam Matthew database Sex & Sexuality (part I).

This follows a previous trial of Sex & Sexuality, held earlier in the year.

About Sex and Sexuality

Decorative

Please be aware that this resource contains material of a sexually explicit nature. Content includes, but is not limited to, descriptions and imagery of sexual violence; non-consensual sexual activity; sexual activity including minors; surgery and suicide.

Sex & Sexuality allows researchers to explore changing attitudes to human sexuality, gender and sexual behaviour.

Module I is sourced solely from the Kinsey Institute Library and Special Collections
