Sociology & Criminology for a Changing World
A broad term encompassing sexual orientation, behavior, identity, and desire.
Sexuality is shaped by biological, psychological, social, and cultural forces. It includes how individuals experience sexual attraction and engage in sexual behavior, as well as how societies regulate and interpret these behaviors. Norms around sexuality vary historically and culturally, making it a key site of moral regulation and social control.
