  • A comparative study of the couple in the social organization of sexuality in France and the United States

    John H Gagnon, Alain Giami et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Sex Research2001Cited by: 6References: 4

    This study presents the results of a comparative analysis of two national surveys of sexual behavior of adults ages 18 to 59 living in France and in the United States. While persons living in a couple in the two countries are quite similar, controlling for gender, age, and relationship status points to a number of important differences among those who are not living in a couple. Among these individuals, the French are more likely to be monogamous…

  • Wie funktionieren sexuelle Skripte

    William Simon, John H GagnonCHAPTERSexuelle Szenen2000

    Schon das bloße Konzept eines Skripts für sexuelles Verhalten bedeutet die Ablehnung der Auffassung, daß das Sexuelle eine ganz spezielle, wenn nicht einzigartige Qualität individueller Motivation darstelle. Es bedeutet auch, daß es keinen permanenten, im Biologischen wurzelnden Auftrag für Sexualität gibt, noch einen, der in den besonderen Anforderungen oder Funktionen eines abstrakten sozialen Systems begründet ist. Aus der Perspektive eines Sk…

    It is only recently in the history of an expanding Euro-American global cultural hegemony that there has been careful reflection on what the natives of other cultures, large and small, advanced and simple, must have thought when first confronted by (usually) white-faced bearers of advanced armaments, religious and commercial fervour, and genocidal impulses based on racist or evolutionary principles. Even those traditional cultures that are curren…
