Culture, Health and Sexuality

http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/titles/13691058.html

Issues of culture, health and sexuality are of growing 
importance nationally and internationally. Nowhere is this 
clearer than in relation to social welfare and public 
health efforts to promote sexual and reproductive health. 
Here, gender stereotypes, cultural expectations and social, 
political and economic conditions impact significantly on 
women's and men's reproductive decision making, body 
integrity, and vulnerability to sexually transmitted 
infections including HIV/AIDS.

Recent years have seen growing interest in an analysis of 
sexual cultures and meanings, and their implications for 
individual and community health. Of particular value has 
been enquiry into sexual communication and negotiation, the 
formation of sexual and health-related identities, and the 
implications of these for sexual and reproductive life.

The 1980s and 1990s have also seen significant efforts to 
institutionalise greater concern for an analysis of 
cultural forms in health studies, gender studies, lesbian 
and gay studies, and population research. Culture, Health & 
Sexuality offers a leading international environment for 
the publication of scholarly papers in the fields of 
culture, health and sexuality.
