The following is the definition of __________________. Sociologists approach the study of sexuality with three basic assumptions: (1) Every society regulates the sexuality of its members. (2) The appropriateness or inappropriateness of a particular sexual behavior depends upon the institutional context within which it occurs. (3) Basic institutions of society (religion, economy, family, medicine, and law) affect the rules governing sexuality in that society. Each of these institutions supports a sexual ideology, or discourse, about sexual activity. The ideology affects the beliefs and behaviors of those affiliated with the institution.
