sexual ritual
Sexual rituals fall into two categories: culture-created, and natural behaviour, the human animal having developed ''sex rituals'' from evolutionary instincts for reproduction, which are then integrated into society, and elaborated to include aspects such as marriage rites, dances, etc. Arguably indeed, 'sex in its more ritualized and symbolic varieties...has moulded the shape of civilization'.〔Desmond Morris, ''The Naked Ape Trilogy'' (London 1994) p. 246 and p. 34〕
Sometimes sexual rituals are highly formalized and/or part of religious activity, as in the cases of Hieros gamos, the hierodule and the OTO. Contemporary sacred sexual rituals have been tagged as 'structured, symbolic, manifestation, ceremonies, tradition, everyday, habit, grounding, magic, solemn'.〔("Sacred Sexual Rituals" p. 3 )〕
==Rites of passage==
Part of the rites of passage of growing up are what have been termed 'rites of separation from the asexual world...followed by rites of incorporation into the world of sexuality'.〔Arnold van Gennep, ''The Rites of Passage'' (1977) p. 67〕 These may be formal or semi-formal - 'for some students, going to college is partly a sexual ritual, like the ceremonial dances of the whooping crane'〔Northrop Frue et al, ''Northrop Frye's Writing on Education'' (2000) p. 92〕 - or take the form of a more private induction: 'formal and artificial...the impression that a long-established rite was to be enacted, among Staffordshire figurs and ''papier-mâché'' trays, with the compelling, detached formality of nightmare'.〔Antony Powell, ''A Buyer's Market'' (1981 )p. 267-8〕
Freud was particularly interested in Ethnological accounts of 'the "ceremonial" (purely formal, ritual, or official) coitus, which takes place' in connection with 'the taboo of virginity'.〔Sigmund Freud, ''On Sexuality'' (PFL 7) p. 268-9〕
