We think of penises and breasts as sexual, for example, but probably think of feet as not sexual. Most of the time, we think that sexual body parts are sexual for natural or biological reasons. But in this part of the book we will be exploring the way that body parts become sexual through a variety of social forces. What counts as ssex depends on how the body is defined or viewed. . . .<\/p>\n<p>What is considered a sexual body part chantes over time. What is considered a legitimate sexual act is not related to nature as much as to social forces. As you&#8217;ll learn, even something as seemingly simple as an orgasm changes over time and is experienced in remarkably different ways in different cultures.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>&#8212;Steven Seidman, <em>New Sexuality Studies <\/em>(79-80)<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Required Readings<\/h2>\n<p>Fausto-Sterling, <em>Sexing the Body<\/em>, Ch. 5 \u201cSexing the Brain\u201d<br \/>\n(115-45), Ch. 6 \u201cSex Glands, Hormones, and Gender Chemistry\u201d (146- 69), Ch. 7 \u201cDo Sex Hormones Really Exist?
