with a sense of appropriate sexual behaviors and sexual desires for their particular culture. They tell
us who we should desire and what we should do. The wide range of sexual behaviors indicates that
sexual scripts are socially constructed not biologically driven. The study of grinding on the college
dance floor is an example of gendered differences in sexual scripts.
