AbstractThe institution of berdache in aboriginal North America is a relatively well‐known phenomena among social scientists, yet a thorough, comprehensive investigation of the institution is lacking. In general, it involved a socially recognized means by which an individual might assume the dress, role, and status of the opposite sex. In this paper, the institution of berdache among the Plains Indians is examined. In Part I, the concept of berdache is more clearly defined; in Part II, the Plains berdache is examined in more detail (including specific ethnographic examples of the institution from several Plains tribes, and a brief discussion of reservation berdaches); Part III consists of an analysis of the institution in terms of Culture and Personality theory. The author suggests that the role of berdache served both personal and social functions in Plains Indian society.

摘要:

AbstractAustralian subincision practices have long puzzled many researchers. By including ritual and other subincision practices it is hoped that the ritual occurrences can be better understood. Brief ethnographic backgrounds, the steps of the ritual and numerous hypotheses explaining this painful initiation rite are surveyed.

摘要:

AbstractThis paper documents specific aspects of sex and eroticism as well as related aspects of social development in a small group of postpubertal male patients diagnosed as having hypopituitarism secondarily to the surgical removal of a pituitary tumor. The data include information about erection, ejaculation, masturbation, erotic imagery and intercourse, as well as dating, socializing and falling in love. Problems of case management are also discussed.

摘要:

AbstractVaginismus being a reaction of avoidance of an anxiety‐producing situation, is readily amenable to treatment by systematic desensitization. This may proceed in two main ways:“in vitro”or“in vivo”. In order to strengthen and speed‐up the desensitization process, we used hypnotic techniques in a dynamic approach.The first session of both methods is dedicated to building an adequate doctor‐couple relationship, careful history‐taking and dissipation of myths and fallacies regarding sexuality or hypnosis. Any attempts at sexual intercourse are forbidden at this stage.The“in vitro”treatment proceeds with the imagery, under hypnosis, of an“anxiety hierarchy”of increasingly erotic and sexually intimate situations, which will be reproduced at home with the partner, until sexual intercourse is achieved. In the“in vivo”method the patient learns self‐hypnosis and then inserts into her vagina first her finger, then Hegar dilators of gradually increasing size. The partner, the patient and the physician will then successively proceed to the insertion, forming a team work situation. This continues until the“female superior position”, practiced first with the largest dilator, is reproduced at home by intercourse.

摘要:

AbstractThe paper presents a fairly precise description of the distribution of selected sexual attitudes and behaviors in the U.S. based on the responses of 92% of a national probability sample of 2,486 adults in the contiguous 48 states. Data regarding the validity of these responses are presented; and selected descriptive findings from this study are compared with Kinsey's data from the 1940's. The results confirm for the total adult population observations made on selected non‐representative groups: differences in sexual attitudes and behaviors are associated with difference in gender, age, and education. In general, our society today is far from being dominated by a fun morality regarding sex; fantasies are more openly acknowledged today, but behavior is still very much constrained by social values and psychological inhibitions. The differential incidence of attitudes and behavior suggest real but gradual changes in the sexual realm in the future, and a general societal approval of these changes as healthy and good.
