Laws, religion, and social norms all influence sexuality and shape individual behaviors and societal expectations. Laws regulate behaviors through marriage laws, reproductive rights laws, and decriminalization of certain sexual acts. Religion provides moral guidance and influences views on sexuality through its teachings on sexual morality and LGBTQ+ identities. Social norms dictate what is acceptable in a society in terms of sexual expression, relationships, and gender roles through unwritten rules and expectations within a culture. These factors interact and provide both regulation and context that significantly impact views of sexuality.
