Explorations of the improvisational side of sex: charting the future of the sociology of sex.
On close inspection, the concept of the sexual script reveals a side to human sexual conduct, the improvisational side, that has yet to be addressed by the sociology of sex. Three questions are answered: What is improvisational sex? Why is sex improvisational? When is sex improvisational? The answers indicate that, in focusing on rule-regulated sexual behavior, the sociology of sex has overlooked the bulk of human sexual conduct. Recommendations are made for correcting errors of the past and for plotting the future of the sociology of sex.
