Personal construct theory provides the foundation for a psychosocial explanation of sexuality that views everyday social interaction as key to the development of sexual identity and desires. The theory developed here accounts for stability and change in sexual identity through an understanding of the importance of experience and the importance of meaning in everyday life. The potential impact of erotica and pornography on sexual desire is discussed, as is the role of social power on sexual behaviour. The variation of sexual expression among individuals?everything from asexuality and sado-masochism to sexual assault?is examined and explained. Formal techniques for changing sexual desires are also presented. . 606 $aSexual behavior 606 $aSexual psychology 606 $aGender identity 606 $aSelf 606 $aIdentity (Psychology) 606 $aPersonality 606 $aSocial psychology 606 $aSociology 606 $aForensic psychology 606 $aSexual Behavior$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20080 606 $aGender and Sexuality$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X35010 606 $aSelf and Identity$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20150 606 $aPersonality and Social Psychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20050 606 $aGender Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X35000 606 $aForensic Psychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20130 615 0$aSexual behavior. 615 0$aSexual psychology. 615 0$aGender identity. 615 0$aSelf. 615 0$aIdentity (Psychology). 615 0$aPersonality. 615 0$aSocial psychology. 615 0$aSociology. 615 0$aForensic psychology. 615 14$aSexual Behavior. 615 24$aGender and Sexuality. 615 24$aSelf and Identity. 615 24$aPersonality and Social Psychology. 615 24$aGender Studies. 615 24$aForensic Psychology. 676 $a155.33 700 $aHorley$b James$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0781012 702 $aClarke$b Jan$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254684703321 996 $aExperience, Meaning, and Identity in Sexuality$92456091 997 $aUNINA
