Psychology of Human Sexuality

 

On this page you will fine all the articles given as reading assignments from Dr. Torres.  They are in order as he put them, though there seems to me to be more than what he had written on the board.  In either case I have scanned them all in, in the order which he put them in for me, and you can find them below. 

The articles have been scanned in as pictures, rather than text, for a few reasons.  First off, the OCR (Optical Character Resolution) available to myself as well as the general public, is very poor.  It misread almost every word, and the underlining, ect, doesn't help.  Second, because I certainly didn't feel like proof reading and correcting it all.  Third, if it was scanned in as text, we would have lost the things he underlined for importance, as well as the pictures too.  Given all the options, I think this was best.

You will find that each page is HUGE!  I did this on purpose to make it easier to read.  You shouldn't have any problems but if you do you can either right click on the page and choose "save as" to save it on your computer, and look at it from there, or if you like, you may also print them out.

**NOTE**

The articles are COPYRIGHTED Material.  Dr. Torres has nothing to do with the publication on the web of these documents.  I am posting them purely of my own accord, and purely for my own reference.  These articles have not been advertised or distributed in anyway.  Please save them and print them at your own risk, and liability.  Again, these articles have been posted for my own person use and reference by no one other than me.

 

Now for those of you who have just read this and might be a little confused, let me explain.  What I am saying is that, it is illegal to reproduce copyrighted material in it's entirety.  Since these are only selections from magazines, I don't believe that this violates the copyright.  However, viewing these articles in a public forum such as the web or a library, is perfectly legal.   The bottom line is, looking at them online is "A-OK", put making print outs of them, *may* break copyright laws, I'm not certain.  In either case, just be aware, I don't foresee anyone getting in trouble, or anything like that so don't worry!!

 

One Last thing... Because these files are so big, I had to put them on a fortune citys server.  It's free, and you get what you pay for!   I believe there will be an ad banner at the top of each page, or a pop-up ad on each page, put there by them.  I applogize, but it was the best I could do.
