Morality and Sexual Plasticity

Plastic sexuality is a term used by Giddens (1992) to describe a heightened self-awareness of the fluidity of one’s sexual life. Today sexuality has almost completely lost its primary reproductive function; we have sex because we seek pleasure, and the sense of pleasure generally is heightened by self-realization and intimacy. As Giddens remarks,

When the new connections between sexuality and intimacy were formed sexuality became much more completely separated from procreation than before. Sexuality became doubly constituted as a medium of self-realization and as a prime means, as well as an expression, of intimacy.

(1992, 164)
