I do not think that people's sexualities have changed over time. I think that society shapes what is acceptable but the desires today are the same as to desires in the past. For example, Greek men could have sex with whoever they wanted. This sexual freeness wouldn't be acceptable today, so we do not see it as often. In a way, these social constraints have a purpose of keeping sexual order. However, I think that one should be able to have a relationship with whoever they choose.
I agree with Kaityln's comment. People still have sexual desires that go against society's ideas of what sexuality should be. And this idea keeps on changing every decade with movements like the gay movement. But how can there be stability in sexuality?
