COMM 352 - Intimacy and Sexual Communication

4 credits
Whether it’s holding hands or participating in a polygamous relationship, there are many ways to experience intimacy and sexual pleasure. There is no one correct way to experience intimacy and sexuality and we engage and reflect upon it differently throughout our lives. This course explores the many ways in which sexual and intimate communication affects our daily lives and how people experience pleasure. Talking about sex and intimacy is not easy, and this course can give you an idea of how talking about sex can achieve multiple goals as well as the information available on how people from diverse backgrounds engage in intimacy and sex. We won’t be able to discuss every single topic relating to intimacy or sex but we will initiate open-minded and curious discussions and research related to communication studies. Prerequisite(s): COMM 125 or COMM 200.
