Summary, in English

From Gagnon and Simon's theories about sexual scripting and through an intersectional perspective sex and sexuality is analysed through six novels within romantic fiction. They are: Kathleen Winsors Forever Amber, Kathleen E. Woodiwiss The Flame and the Flower, Jackie Collins American Star samt E. L.

Aided by the theory of sexual scripting the kinds of sex portrayed are analysed in relation to societal changes about sex and sexuality as well as how sexual acts are portrayed in different times.
