What both essentialist and sociological perspectives on sexuality share in common, nevertheless, is the conviction that sexuality is a relatively stable social identity, one maintained in a (biologically or socially) constant and continuous way throughout our lives, through either a (biological/psychological) developmental process or a process of socialisation and stratification through which we are deemed to acquire a relatively stable, ‘true’ sexual identity. Both approaches, feminists have argued, also tend to give insufficient attention to power relations in shaping, respectively, the social expression or social construction of sexuality. A more specific concern with the relationship between the social context of sexuality and power relations underpins a third approach to sexuality that can be discerned in more recent sociological literature.
