But what you're treating as "unscripted"--romantic sex--is a social norm! Being "in love" and having sex to express that love is a complex product of social and historical forces; it is not just your own individual, "unscripted" experience. Just as with eating, sexual impulses are always channelled and shaped by social and historical factors; there can be no "spontaneous sex" unsullied by social "scripts".
