Definition

  • Sex has, because of various social, cultural, and religious influences, most often been defined as an act best hidden in the private space of the bedroom behind closed curtains and often undertaken in the dark. Within this context, if sex must take place, the most acceptable type is focused on procreation and is, as such, heterosexual. [Source: Encyclopedia of Play in Today's Society; Sex Play]
