AbstractTwo models of women's orgasm are examined in light of known neuromuscular functioning. It is concluded that both models have difficulties in their formulations concerning the triggering mechanisms of orgasm, and neither model attempts to account for the clonic nature of the response. An alternative model is presented which more fully accounts for the orgasmic response. Theoretical and clinical implications of this new model are discussed.

摘要:

AbstractThis study was designed to look at the role sexual arousal and behavior play in confirming or resolving gender identity confusion, and at how female‐to‐male transsexuals (FTs) and lesbians (Ls) differ in this area. Detailed interview data on sexual behavior from a clinical sample of 15 FTs compared to a matched research sample of 15 Ls are presented. The mean age for the FTs group was 21 years, 10 months and 23 years, 8 months for the Ls group. The two groups were matched by age, educational background and parental socioeconomic status. The results indicated that the majority of women in both groups had had sexual experience with men as well as women. All clearly preferred women as partners, but the FTs fantasized being men in encounters with women, while the Ls were completely identified women. The Ls sample tended to go through a heterosexual phase before they had their first relationship with another woman, which was typically not until approximately age 20. However, the FTs tended to have their first sexual relationship with a woman in early or middle adolescence. The two groups also differed in various aspects of sexual arousal and behavior, with Ls reporting a higher frequency of orgasms and being more at ease in engaging in intense and satisfactory sexual relations.The primary value of this study has to be seen as hypothesis rendering. The conclusions are tentative because of the limited sample size. The data add to our knowledge on aspects of female sexuality in general, and the reported differences between the two groups will assist in formulating a differential diagnosis between FTs and Ls in clinical practice.

摘要:

AbstractIn a longitudinal psychoendocrine follow‐up study, six males were treated for idiopathic panhypopituitarism from teenage until age 25 to 35 years. All six were short statured and failed to attain full pubertal virilization. All six were chronically juvenilized by other people. Self‐report data showed low frequencies of erection, ejaculation, masturbation, erotic fantasy, and sexual intercourse, and low frequencies of socializing, friendships, dating, necking, petting and the pair‐bonding of falling in love. Falling‐in‐love impairment may have been secondary to neural impairment that parallels impairment of the brain's hypothalamic governance of pituitary function.

摘要:

AbstractIn light of theoretical and empirical suggestions that mass media violent erotica may have antisocial effects, a content analysis was performed to ascertain the amount of sexual violence in the pictorials and cartoons ofPlayboyandPenthousemagazines. This analysis included all issues of the two magazines from January, 1973 through December, 1977. While the two raters, a male and a female, showed relatively high reliability in their ratings of sexual violence within the pictorial stimuli, less agreement was found on cartoon stimuli. Pictorial violent sexuality was found to increase significantly over the five years analyzed both in absolute numbers and as a percentage of the total number of pictorials, although even by 1977 only about 5% of the pictorials were rated as sexually violent. No significant changes in the percentage of sexually violent cartoons were found over the years, although inPenthousethere was an increase in the absolute number of such cartoons. Throughout this five‐year period, however,Penthousewas found to have a greater percentage of sexually violent cartoons thanPlayboy(approximately 13% vs. 6%). The results are discussed within the context of empirical research in the area and the possibility that sexually violent stimuli may contribute to a“cultural climate”promoting a sexist ideology.

摘要:

AbstractRe‐examination of the hypothesis that firstborns are overrepresented concerning premarital sexual activity was conducted with a sample of young, poor, black unwed and married first‐conceptors. Contrary to confirming results obtained in earlier studies wherein all—or virtually all—respondents were white, the present study with black females did not support the hypothesis. U.S. black/white cultural differences were considered to account for the disparity of results found between this and earlier efforts.

摘要:

AbstractThis article reports on three phases of the development of a Likert‐type scale measuring heterosexual attitudes toward homosexuality. Phase 1 describes the development of the scale. Item analysis yielded 20 statements with item‐total correlations ranging from .57 to .74. In Phase 2 the 20‐item Heterosexual Attitudes Toward Homosexuality (HATH) Scale was administered to 82 subjects. Analysis yielded a corrected split‐half correlation of .92, and the scale was found to discriminate between individuals based on sex, academic major, and church attendance. In Phase 3 (a validation study) the HATH was administered with several additional attitude scales and indexes of an exploratory nature. Analysis yielded a corrected split‐half correlation of .92. As in Phase 2, a significant effect of sex was found; females appear more tolerant than males. In addition, the HATH correlated significantly with peer attitudes, religiosity, and authoritarianism. The scale has satisfactory reliability and shows promising construct validity.

摘要:

AbstractAs revealed in two unrelated reports from prison inmates, the sexology of all‐male incarceration subdivides into masturbation, wet dreams, and partner contacts in association with heterosexual imagery; consenting homosexual pairing with one partner exclusively androphilic and the other bisexual; coercive partnerships with one partner dominating but not injuring the other and neither being permanently and exclusively androphilic; and violent homosexual rape. The long‐term outcomes of prison celibacy and homosexuality are not presently known. These outcomes need to be studied systematically and prospectively. It is suggested that it is illogical to punish sex offenders by incarcerating them in an environment that breeds sex offending. A system of conjugal visitation, and possibly of family living in prison, is a more logical, and probably the only alternative to institutionalized sexual brutality and homosexuality that is situationally evoked.
