description Undergraduates enrolled in two separate sections of a human sexual behavior course (N = 85) at a mid-sized public university in the southeastern U.S. completed pre- and post-measures of the Brief Sexual Attitudes Scale and the Trueblood Sexual Attitudes Questionnaire. Students reported greater tolerance for sexual practices of others and more liberal and positive sexual attitudes after completing the course. Students also reported positive outcomes related to the course with respect to increased sexual knowledge, enhanced sexual self image, and improved current/future romantic relationships. The positive benefits of a college human sexuality course are discussed.
