Application: Sexual Behavior
Gender and sexuality are intertwined in many cultures. (Gardiner & Kosmitzki 2011) Socialization agents teach the appropriate behaviors for gender and the acceptable sexual attitudes and behaviors within a culture. Cultural differences exist around the world and across countries. For example cultural differences may exist through the number of partners allowed in a marriage expectations for males and females and knowledge and application of safe sex practices. Differences may also arise in what is permitted and acceptable such as premarital sex same-sex relationships and extramarital relationships. The consequences for an individual deviating from these cultural expectations also vary from culture to culture.
For this Assignmentchoose one sexual attitude (e.g. abstinence monogamy etc.) and one sexual behavior (e.g. chastity infidelity etc.).
