"Fornonormativity" is a coinage from the Greek "porneia", which in the New Testament refers to sexual immorality in general, for example, adultery, pre-marital sex, homosexuality, lesbianism, intercourse with animals. The set of sexual behaviors prohibited in the Bible intersects but is not identical to the set of behaviors that American fornonormativity seeks to elevate and protect. Incest, for example, remains outside at present.

Fornonormativity also supports consequent behaviors such as abortion-on-demand, which can be traced back to the normativization of pre-marital sex. The American fornonormative culture also created a large demand for easy divorce. Fornonormativity is an important part of an adherent individual's susceptibility to the notion that a homosexually immoral relationship can be sanctified as [[Same-sex marriage|marriage]].
