Sexuality is a topic that intimately impacts our lives, but it is an aspect of health that is often ignored and misunderstood. This course aims to educate students about issues in sexual health and sexual diversity such as: a) sexual desire and response, b) sexual and gender identity development across the lifespan, c) LGBT health, d) contraception e) sexually transmitted infections, f) sexual dysfunction and g) healthy sexual communication.
As many people get their information about sex primarily from the Internet, students in this course will contribute to the knowledge base by editing a Wikipedia page on a topic related to sexual health or sexual diversity.

Assignment - Respond to your peer review
You probably have some feedback from other students and possibly other Wikipedians. Consider their suggestions, decide whether it makes your work more accurate and complete, and edit your draft to make those changes.
Continue to expand and improve your work, and format your article to match Wikipedia's tone and standards. Remember to contact your Wikipedia Expert at any time if you need further help!
