Diederik F. Janssen from the University of Nijmegen kindfully provided me with a link to his recently online published database Growing Up Sexually (World Reference Atlas & The Scripting of Sexual Development). He writes: "It comprises of a two-volume, bimodal overview of cross-cultural material relevant for the study of preadult sexual behaviour curricula and trajectories. The first volume (Atlas) consists of an annotated bibliography using a rough geo-/ ethnographical organisation. The outcome is a heterogeneous collection of accounts of sexual behaviour trajectories that may be or have been typical for given communities within a given ethnohistorical space or time span. The second thematic volume tentatively elaborates on this collection, by (1) organising and challenging traditions, theoretical paradigms, and meta-scientific positionings pertaining to sexual development issues provided by anthropologists; which, together with (2) the influx of (non-) cross-culturalist sociological data and perspectives, is to accommodate (3) a cross-cultural presentation of Atlas data within a polythematic format."
