The “Standards for Sexuality Education” introduce the concept of holistic sexuality education and offer a concrete overview that shows which topics sexuality education in European countries should entail, ordered according to age groups.
They are meant to serve as a guideline for the introduction of a holistic sexuality education. They provide practical support and guidance for the elaboration of suitable curricula whilst also furnishing the arguments and rationale for the introduction of such a holistic sexuality education in each country. The Standards are based on a positive interpretation of sexuality which is regarded as a natural part of human development and a central aspect of human being throughout life. http://www.bzga-whocc.de/en/publications/standards-in-sexuality-education/

Since its conception, Understanding Human Sexuality has achieved distinction and success by following the science of human sexuality. The first of the modern sexuality textbooks, Understanding Human Sexuality introduced this topic to students through the science that has uncovered what we know about the field. Groundbreaking when it first appeared, this research-based tradition continues to deliver a contemporary, balanced introduction to human sexuality in an integrated learning system that engages students in learning the content of the course, about others, and about themselves. The new Guide to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion reflects the author’s longstanding commitment to integrate issues of diversity with the latest scholarship.
