Abstract: The policy innovation literature does not mention any systemic analysis of sexual freedom laws. Sexual freedom, since the sexual revolution of the 1960s, has been increasing over the past few decades in the United States at the state level and hence is an appropriate area to study in terms of innovativeness. Data collected from 1960 to 2010 show that variables such as Ideology, Income, Religious and Racial fractionalization are important for sexual freedom innovation. In this article, I also innovate in how I calculate the sexual freedom innovativeness score that was necessitated because of the way sexual freedom laws were coded.
