Many young people arrive on college campuses with little formal sexuality education and many elect to take courses in human sexuality. Prior research on the effects of sexuality education has been largely quantitative in nature and has focused on changes in individual attitudes, behaviors, and knowledge. This study sought to identify and describe qualitatively, the perceived influences of taking a human sexuality course on relationships. Individuals in male-female relationships were recruited from several sections of one undergraduate human sexuality class at a university in the Midwest. Eight couples completed all aspects of the study, including a brief questionnaire and then 60 minute semi-structured interviews as a couple and individually. Interviews were transcribed and analyzed using critical qualitative methodologies. The findings related to the perceived influences of the class included the overall message of the class or a class like human sexuality. This included sub-themes of exposure to new information, to a diversity of ideas, people, and behaviors related to sexuality, and to the right to this exposure. The overall influence of the class was that participants felt less secretive about sex and more comfortable with sexuality overall. This led to two behaviors: discussing aspects of the class with others and with their partner. All participants shared some aspects of the class with their partners. Examples included textbook information, assignments, or lecture materials. Sharing class information with partners led to several sub-themes related to perceived influences of the class. These included communication overall, and particularly about sex; perceived changes to the relationship and sexual relationship; changes to body image, self-confidence and agency; trying new sexual behaviors or positions; and new information related to health and anatomy that led to increased health protective behaviors and in some cases, increased sexual pleasure. These findings have implications both for the way in which interventions related to sexuality are assessed and for instructors who teach human sexuality.
