More about the book
Examining the intersection of sexuality and social life, this book challenges traditional views that prioritize biological determinism in sexual conduct. Gagnon and Simon introduce social script theory, illustrating how sexual activities arise from a complex psychosocial development process. They explore how sexuality is learned and contextualized throughout various life stages and behaviors, emphasizing the significance of social influences over mere biological imperatives. This perspective invites a deeper understanding of human sexuality beyond the simplistic notion that "anatomy is destiny."
