摘要:

Much of the important research in human sexual functioning has consisted of surveys and descriptions of sexual acts or analyses of the biological components of the sexual response. This paper presents an analysis of cognitive factors that affect the way in which physiological and interpersonal events are defined and experienced as sexual. Research and theory from current social psychological investigations of emotions are discussed, and the implications for understanding sexual arousal are highlighted. An analysis of specific cognitive events relevant to sexual arousal is presented, including topics such as labeling of physiological arousal, monitoring of sexual arousal cues, varieties and consequences of self‐observations, and the effects of expectations. The possiblities of gender and other individual differences are noted, and implications for understanding and treating sexual dysfunction are discusse

摘要:

This paper presents an overview of our interview study with 156 men and women having a history of more than incidental sexual experience with both men and women. Data from other studies that point to the existence of bisexuality are reviewed and suggestions are made about why bisexuality has not been incorporated into scientific thinking about sexuality. Our study is described and some of the findings are presented to address the following questions: How does bisexuality fit into the erotic careers of respondents? What factors contribute to the adoption of bisexual self‐identification? What circumstances are conducive to the development of bisexuality in individuals? What are the differences between the processes of becoming a bisexual female and becoming a bisexual mal

摘要:

Sexual behavior is the result of a relationship‐based decision‐making process focusing on the morality of the contemplated behaviors and the implications of those behaviors for the relationship. Kohlberg's cognitive‐developmental theory of moral reasoning is used as a framework for understanding the moral reasoning processes involved in sexual decision‐making. Research which examines the association of moral reasoning to sexual standards, sexual philosophy, sex guilt, and sexual behavior is discussed. It is suggested that sexual involvement is a moral issue reflecting decisions about the quality of interpersonal relationships desired by the partners. A cognitive‐developmental model for understanding interpersonal relationships is proposed and three levels of relationship reasoning are

摘要:

Surveys conducted between the 1930s and 1970s on the sexual behavior of adolescents are reviewed. The paper, concentrating on coitus, focuses on the issue of liberalization in sexual behavior. Although there are large discrepancies in data from various surveys, and methodological difficulties associated with most of them, three major conclusions seem warranted. (a) A larger number of older adolescents (in the college years) are sexually experienced now than in earlier generations. (b) There has been a greater increase in incidence of premarital intercourse for females than males, although most surveys still report a higher absolute incidence for males. (c) While data for younger adolescents are less clear, they suggest a trend toward earlier sexual experience for both males and females.

摘要:

The patterning of sexual interaction in male‐female dyads and the links between sexual behavior and emotional intimacy were investigated as part of a two‐year study of college dating couples. Despite generally permissive and egalitarian attitudes, traditional sexual role playing in which the man encourages intercourse and the woman limits the couple's sexual intimacy was common. Three types of couples were compared: sexual traditionalists who abstained from coitus, sexual moderates who had coitus only after emotional intimacy was established, and sexual liberals who had coitus prior to developing emotional intimacy. Findings are discussed in terms of the psychological meaning of sexual behavior for young adu

摘要:

Despite considerable theorizing on the subject, empirical research focusing on hypothesized links between sexual arousal and aggression has been slow to follow. Recent studies have found that under differing experimental conditions there are both mutually facilitative and inverse relationships between sex and aggression. Available models designed to account for these findings are examined. An alternative model is proposed incorporating distinctions between hostile and assertive aggression and placing emphasis on the role of discriminative inhibitory and disinhibitory cues. Some implications and possible applications of this model for human sexual behavior are considered.

摘要:

The possible relationships between sexual permissiveness, sex‐role rigidity, and violence at the societal level are examined. Two judges independently rank ordered the levels of sexual permissiveness of a random sample of 17 cultures chosen from the Human Relations Area Files. A second set of two judges rank ordered the rigidity of these cultures' sex roles, and a third set of judges rank ordered the cultures on their levels of intra‐ and extra‐communal violence. An attempt to rank order the degree of achieved masculinity content of the cultures' sex stereotypes failed because judges could not rank them reliably. Sexual permissiveness was uncorrelated with either sex‐role rigidity or violence, but sex‐role rigidity was highly correlated with violence. The results are interpreted as being incompatible with theories of sex and violence that stress a single physiological or instinctual factor. The results supported two‐factor theories which gave more emphasis to social learning principles than to physiological d

摘要:

A theory is presented to explain the similarity between America and other societies in reproductive sex taboos. The theory argues that these taboos are based on a concept of sexual pollution and represent implicit mechanisms used to solve inevitable social dilemmas produced by marriage. Data were collected from a representative sample of adults to test the theory. The results showed that measures of commitment to traditional marital obligations accounted for 24% of the variability in adherence to the menstrual sex taboo. Adding additional variables to the theoretical model did not substantially affect the proposed relationship.

摘要:

This paper reviews the role of cultural attitudes toward sexuality in shaping sex researchers' and sex therapists' views of “normal” sexual behavior. The theoretical systems and therapeutic procedures of the pioneer sex researchers Havelock Ellis and R. von Krafft‐Ebing are reviewed, as is the work of Freud. Kinsey's work, and the more recent work of Masters and Johnson, are discussed in the context of how their views both reflected and also challenged cultural assumptions about sexuality. The role of mass media in shaping both popular and therapeutic views of male/female roles and sexual function is discussed, and the cultural biases of the current generation of sex therapists are exa
