Rosenthal (2013) emphasizes the importance of understanding sexuality as a product of historical and cultural forces that shape individual experiences and desires.

Sexual selfhood refers to the complex and multifaceted aspects of an individual's sexual identity, including their desires, behaviors, and experiences.

In Ancient Greece, the male role was viewed as one of dominance and control, with men expected to exhibit sexual prowess and aggression.

Judaism viewed marital sex as a positive and essential aspect of a healthy marriage, with the goal of procreation and companionship.

The church played a significant role in shaping sexual attitudes and behaviors during the Middle Ages, often viewing sexual desire as a sinful and corrupting influence that needed to be controlled and repressed.
