Investigates sexual activity assessment; biological and social dimensions; sissiness and tomboyism; sex identity disorders; sexual dysfunctions and difficulties; child-adult sexual activity; sexual coercion and assault; and sexual deviations--paraphilias and sex offenses. The author aims to present what is known and to critically examine what is believed, where possible freeing beliefs from their political coloring. Many issues remain unresolved--some because of lack of information, others because the available information challenges conventions and conventional thinking. Annotation c.
