Document Summary
Is pre-marital sex acceptable? (more social level-cultural norms- religion); an area in which norms regarding pre-marital sex are constantly changing. How many sexual partners should people have? raises the most conflict within relationships. This topic is one in which these two approaches are most different from each other. Normal=heterosexual (how genes can be transmitted into the next generation) Sex is innate (people are born heterosexual otherwise species couldn"t survive or perpetuate. Sex is fixed at birth (born to be male or female- it is genetically determined) Dominant for most of history but not now. Instincts remain despite vast changes in norms and technology. Sex is learned (heteronormativity- what is normal in the culture is heterosexual; it is what culture tells us to be; now, with changing cultural norms, more and more people engage in a wide variety of sexual activities) Sex is chosen (people choose from a variety of sexual identities and engage in a variety of different sexual activities)
