theories
Scripting theory posits that individuals use sets of ordering rules, called scripts, to interpret, predict, or produce the scenes around them. Sexual scripts, in particular, provide information about the appropriate sequences of events involved in sexual encounters, the prevalence of certain sexual behaviors among one's peers, or the expected roles of men and women in sexual situations.
