Continuously constructed between internal and external sources affirmes, modifies, challenged and transgressed through social interaction and personal reflection. Sexuality: range of human activities designed to produce erotic response and pleasure. Sexual script-culturally created sexual guidelines that embody the patterns of behaviours society or a group defines as sexually appropriate in a given social situation. Scripts shred by a group that are supposed to lead to erotic arousal and in turn produce genital/or non-genital responses. How it relates to sex and gender: look at notes.
