Sexual morality

Translation: Sexualmoral
Sexual morality
refers to the social and individual ideas, norms and values that judge certain sexual behaviour as morally ‘wrong’ or ‘right’. It encompasses ideas about ‘acceptable’ sexual practices, relationships and behaviour and is strongly influenced by cultural, religious, historical and personal factors. Discourses surrounding sexuality contribute to questioning, consolidating and changing the prevailing sexual morality.
