The Words of Sexuality, Linguistic Semiotic Analysis of Sexuality

Almost the whole of Western culture has adopted the word sexuality to describe the dynamics of the various sexual acts, the feelings and emotions that these acts evoke, but also elements of identity. But what words existed in every culture before the word "sexuality" prevailed? Did they have the same meaning? The linguistic and semiotic analysis of the words and phrases we use to describe the phenomena surrounding human sexuality can raise interesting questionings. This acquires great value in our era where sexuality is in an open dialogue or confrontation with everything that defined it until now such as ethics, society, culture, religion and biology itself.
