The politics of sexuality addresses, and often challenges, the social organisation of sexuality. Sexuality is not defined by nature, nor is it simply an individual matter. Sexuality as a political phenomenon involves a wide variety of issues including, for example, the representation of sexuality, sex education, hierarchies of sexual acts, individual freedom, reproductive rights, sex work and sexual identities.
