What are sexual scripts?
Health Education Health 100 Version 3 / Sexual Scripts
"Sexual scripts are learned guidelines for sexual expression, orientation, behavior, desire, and self-definition. Sexual socialization teaches people how, when, where, with whom, and why sexuality is expressed, while biological drives provide the urges that scripts help organize. Contemporary scripts encourage both partners to communicate openly, take ownership of sexual experiences, and respect each other’s needs and desires."
