sexual relationships outside of marriage
Generally speaking in most societies around the world sexual relationships outside of marriage are
strongly prohibited. From an

outside sex may be circumvented in different ways. Discuss some of the ways in which societies legitimize certain outside sexual practices and the ways individuals in these
societies justify their actions. Hint: discuss the idea of survival sex as opposed to prostitution.
