Answer:

One of the findings of modern sociology is that sexuality is socially constructed so that what is abnormal in one social framework may be normal in another.

For example in western societies, indulging in sexual acts in public is considered part of their culture and is considered positive whereas in Asian societies, similar acts are considered as rude and disrespectful when done publicly.

This clearly shows that sexuality is defined by the society and it can differ from one society to another depending their norms and cultures.
