• The „Explaining Human Culture“ section covers various aspects of social interaction, including sexuality.
• Topics are structured into individual articles. Each article includes an abstract summarizing the content. A table of contents outlines key subjects covered in each article.
• All topics/articles are available for free PDF download.
• The document on sexuality consists of 27 pages and includes the following key topics: definition of sexuality, patterns of tolerance or restriction of sexual performance, premarital and extramarital sexuality, sex in heterosexual marriages (sexual taboos), homosexuality, „what we do not know,“ and exercises.
• HRAF gives the impression of being a well-organized online encyclopedia, which can be particularly useful for summaries, presentations, or academic papers.
• However, the collected documents (especially those concerning specific ethnic groups) can also be subjected to in-depth or comparative analyses for deeper research approaches.
• The sorting, bundling, and navigation, as well as the simplified downloading of files, facilitate the use of this large database in relation to numerous anthropological topics.
• The cross-cultural comparative approach underlying the HRAF project must always be taken into account.
