“Must-read”s on Sexuality

February 5th, 2007

This reading list from Christina Clark was compiled during 2001 when she was a doctoral candidate at New York University, Professional Program in Human Sexuality. She asked SSSS members to think about which texts most influenced their current thinking (in 2001) about human sexuality and sexual science and texts they felt were “must-read”s for any young student trying to become knowledgeable in this field. Sexuality is closely to my study on sex work and sexual behavior although they are different in may aspects. I appreciate she compiled this list and publish it here. The original copy is at

Sexual behaviour

February 5th, 2007

We are interested in sexual behaviour for at least two reasons:

———Its importance in the psychology of the individual, sexuality and institutions and beliefs associated with it are among the most useful points of approach to the study of a society

——–Its relationship to the structure of the family, the pattern of sexually acceptable conduct plays a large part in perpetuating social attitudes and in the formation of individual character.

From “Sexual behaviour in society”

I love these words. It makes my study sensible.

Being unemployment or doing sex work

February 5th, 2007

I had a talk with me supervisor last Friday.

I asked:”Do you think my study on sex workers can get funding from the project -’unemployment and workforce’?”

He said:”You mean, let unemployed women do sex work?”

Excuse me, I said in mind.

“I mean, improve their skills, create more opportunities and let them quit the job! ”

My goddess.

I know, for some working girls, sex work is not so bad as we thought. It’s not their last choice but best choice. We should not label people, anybody, before we are getting to know them. However, some of them do the work for money. They need money for drugs desperately.
