Encyclopedia > Alternative sexuality

There are a variety of alternative sexuality practices and subcultures for people who hold that human sexual expression comes in a wide variety of forms which other people might consider immoral or unhygenic; it is noteworthy that people who hold to an encompassing imperative ethic as regards what they might term alternative sexuality regard themselves as a social norm whereas they might be also considered a subculture with their own distinct practises and outlooks. In sociology, a norm, or social norm, is a pattern of behavior expected within a particular society in a given situation. ...


A variety of books, educational websites, and local education/support/social organizations exist for various forms of sexuality. Anyone who is unfamiliar with the techniques and safety practices with any form of sexuality would be wise to seek out information before engaging in sexuality, as risks exist with any intimate contact.
