Socially constructed "appropriate" sex is commonly found in advertising and main media. First and foremost, heterosexual encounters are what are depicted as being the "norm" next: we have the biggest brand of condoms out there Trojan Condoms. Trojan always advertises the use of "safe" sex and often times depicts it as being safe heterosexual sex.

The second advertisement is a toilet paper company, that has chosen to display their toilet paper as also being pleasurable. Visually, we see a nude man and a woman wearing only a towel. They are facing one another in a way that suggests that they are sexually interested in one another. The appropriate sex here is one where the man is the aggressor. His nudity shows that he is ready-and-willing, while the woman is still wearing her towel, but is in a stance that suggests that the towel may soon come off.
Again we have a heterosexual relationship in which the woman is taking off the man's pants. They both look like they are in the middle of their activities and are "appropriately" enjoying themselves.
With this advertisement we have a man and a woman skimpily dressed with their legs interlocking one another. It appears as though the man has taken off the girl's hat, and they are caught mid-foreplay.
Here we have a man and a woman's feet shot in a way that suggests that they are having sex. The woman's panties are down around their ankles and the advertisement states "The first thing she notices...are your shoes" Here we have the ideal that not only are women interested in shoes, but once we get down to it, all woman are interested in shoes and then the men that are attached to them, and are ready-and-willing to have sex.
Last we have a man and a woman making out for a jeans advertisement. They are both seen wearing only the jeans are are shot in a way that depicts sexual activity.
