sex hierarchy

is the gradation of sexual practices from morally 'good sex' to 'bad sex' in heteronormative societies.

According to cultural anthropologist Gayle Rubin, heteronormativity in mainstream society creates a 'sex hierarchy' that gradates sexual practices from morally 'good sex' to 'bad sex.' The hierarchy places reproductive, monogamous sex between committed heterosexuals as 'good' and places any sexual acts and individuals who fall short of this standard lower until they fall into 'bad sex.' Specifically, this places long-term committed gay couples and promiscuous gays in between the two poles' (wikipedia)
