Throughout my many years of teaching this course, I have collected thousands of questions about sexuality from students. I have visited colleges and universities all over the world to better understand the questions that college students have today and how these questions might vary in the United States and farther afield. My search for these student questions has taken me as far away as New Zealand, Australia, Egypt, and Europe. I also receive questions about sexuality on my website—http://www. drjanellcarroll. com. Student questions are helpful in understanding what information students need. Examples include, “Can you
breastfeed if your nipples are pierced?” and “Do any animal species exhibit homosexual behaviors?” These types of questions are the backbone of Sexuality Now.
In addition, the online student study tool SexualityNow™ (go to www. thomsonedu. com) includes an audio version of one Sex Talk question per chapter. These audio versions have a “student” audio response to a question, and then each individual student user has the ability to submit his or her own response.
