Modern western civilizations has more of sexuality. Where comes Philosophy in it. ? Off course, sex has some philosophy, a traditional one, read " kamasutra" written by Vatsayana. A great Indian philosopher. It has been translated to all languages, available in your place also.

i didnt read it but anything about sex is just sex.
his theory: our society has progressively paid more attention to what is considered normative behavior? this concerns over a wide spectrum-gender roles, same sex marriages. cuz society becoming more threathened by the liberal media this includes news articles about sex research i.e. intersex, gay sex ramps, since sexuality is a subject of who we are and what we considered morally acceptable ppl are getting concern about sex research. also, that sexuality is socially constructed in every few decades ppl perspective of sex changes.
