Out of 81 logically possible patterns of sexual socialization, 14 were found to occur in a cross-cultural sample of societies. The occurrence of these 14 patterns, as opposed to the other 67, could not be explained in terms of their internal consistency nor in terms of the socialization continuity they provide. However, both an inhibition-imitation hypothesis and an adolescent strain hypothesis held some differentiating power. Shifting the unit of analysis from patterns to societies, the available evidence indicated that patterns with perfect internal consistency and/or continuity are favored in terms of frequency of occurrence but, among patterns which are not perfect, the degree of consistency or continuity is not much related to occurrence frequencies. Use of a statistical model to make predictions from the continuity hypothesis concerning intergenerational change suggested that movements from pattern to pattern are not determined solely by pressures for cultural continuity
