The SALUSEX Research Group presents the first edition of the Expert Course in Affective-Sexual Education and Development.

The objectives of this course are as follows:

  1. Understand the biological, developmental, cultural, ethical, legal and gender-based aspects associated with human sexuality.
  2. Understand the different sexual practices (including autoeroticism and sexual fantasies) between individuals of the same sex or of different sexes, the different affective-sexual relationship models between individuals and the personal variables associated with sexual behaviour such as sexual assertiveness, sexual sensation seeking or erotophilia/erotophobia, among others.
  3. Understand the different manifestations of online sex such as the use of dating apps, sexting and cybersex, and evaluate the advantages and possible dangers associated with these practices.
  4. Understand the relevance of sexual abuse in our society in different groups (children, individuals with intellectual functional diversity, unaccompanied immigrant minors, etc.), as well as its devastating effects on the mental health of the victims.
  5. Know and master the necessary skills and competencies in order to design and implement a sexual health promotion programme throughout the life-cycle: infancy, adolescence, adulthood and advanced adulthood.

The course will take place during the 2023/24 school year, from September to December, consisting of a total of 16.00 credits ECTS. The classes will be online with each session recorded and the activities can be completed throughout the week. In addition, there will be one hybrid session held each month, always on a Friday, dedicated to case analysis, which can be attended in person at the Faculty of Psychology from 3:30pm to 8:30pm This session will be live streamed for those who are unable to attend in person.
