Adult Sexuality

Thomasina H. Sharpe

University of South Alabama, tsharpe{at}usouthal.edu

Sexuality is a complex and often confusing part of life, especially in respect to development. Each age brings a unique set of milestones and challenges. How one resolves those challenges has the potential to lead to outcomes ranging from great personal satisfaction to considerable pain. Sexuality is influenced by a combination of psychologic, social, and physiologic factors. A simple review of the literature reveals that there is no single unifying theory or approach to its development. At best, it is multidisciplinary and holistic, combining biologic, psychological, social, and cognitive disciplines and theories. This article addresses adult sexuality and its development from a multidisciplinary perspective.

Key Words: human sexuality • adult • developmental stages • sexual development • sexuality
