INTRODUCTION
The Social Construction of Sexuality
In the last few decades, there has been a revolution in the study of sexuality. Sex is today understood as fundamentally social. The aspects of sex that scholars–and ordinary folk–are interested in, such as issues of desire, pleasure, identity, norms of sexual behavior, and intimate arrangements, as today recognized by the leading scholars in the field as social phenomena. This deep sociology of sexualities is what we call the new sexuality studies.
