Abstract

While the potential for sexual behavior is provided by human biology cross-cultural research has made it clear that sociocultural factors determine how that potential is expressed (Davenport 1977). Thus each society constraints "the age gender legal and kin relationships between sexual actors as well as setting limits on the sites of behavior and the connections between organs" (Gagnon & Simon 1973: 4). The nature of these constraints and their influence on the individuals sexuality are the subject of this paper. In order to meet the page limit imposed this review is focused on heterosexual activity. (excerpt)
