What people ask a Sexologist

 

 

 

Sexology is the systematic study of human sexuality. Modern sexology is a multidisciplinary field which uses the techniques of fields including biology, medicine, psychology, statistics, epidemiology, pedagogy, sociology, anthropology, and sometimes criminology to bear on its subject.  Sexology studies sexual development and the development of sexual relationships as well as the mechanics of sexual intercourse. It also documents the sexualities of special groups, such as the disabled, child development, adolescents, and the elderly.

It studies human sexual development and the development of sexual relationships as well as the mechanics of sexual intercourse and sexual dysfunction. Sexologists study sexual dysfunctions, disorders, and variations, including such widely varying topics as erectile dysfunction, pedophilia, and sexual orientation.  Sexology encompasses all aspects of sexuality, including attempting to characterise "normal sexuality" and its variants.

Sexology is considered descriptive, not prescriptive: it attempts to document reality, not to prescribe what behavior is suitable, ethical, or moral.
