Basic Types of Sexual  Behavior

性行為的基本類型

威廉··洪堡 Wilhelm von Humboldt , 1767 -1835

德國偉大的大師和大學改革家,為第一次提出道德中立的人類性行為分類的首位現代學者。

Wilhelm von Humboldt the great German scholar and university reformer, was the first modern writer to provide a morally neutral classification of human sexual behavior.

威廉··洪堡(Wilhelm von Humboldt1826/27年擬定了性學研究的主題大綱《人類依附史》History of Dependency in the Human Race)。其中,他計畫調查生殖驅力(the procreative drive和娼妓發展史。這部著作從來也沒有完成,不過在洪堡的大綱草案裏,他按照性行為的4種可能的對象,第一次引入了道德中立的人類性行為分類法:

  • 自我性行為self

  • 与异性的性交other sex

  • 与同性的性交same sex

  • 与动物的性交animal

這個分類作為一個對非常複雜的論題的一般性導論現在仍舊有用,並且我們因此在本教程的以下內容將使用這個分類系統。不過,遵照現時的科學術語規則,我們將把第二和第三個分類命名為異性性交(heterosexual intercourse)和同性性交(homosexual intercourse)(前綴hetero-homo-在希臘語裏,準確的含義為不同的相同的 [1]


[1]. 請讀者分辨德文術語和英文術語的差異。這裏不把英文翻譯成異性戀性交同性戀性交的意思再明白不過了:因為異性戀者或同性戀者都可能發生同樣方式的性交,例如肛交。 ——譯校者注。

Basic Types of Sexual  Behavior

Wilhelm von Humboldt, in 1826/27, sketched the outline of a major sexological study “The History of Dependency in the Human Race”. In it, he planned to investigate the history of “the procreative drive” and that of prostitution. The work was never completed, but in his sketch Humboldt, for the first time, introduced a morally neutral classification of human sexual behavior according to its four possible objects:

  1. Self
  2. Other sex
  3. Same sex
  4. Animal

This classification is still helpful today for a general introduction to a very complex issue, and we will therefore use it in the following sections of this course. However, following the current scientific terminology, we will speak in the second and third cases of “heterosexual” and “homosexual intercourse” (the prefixes “hetero-“ and “homo-“ simply mean “different” and “same” in Greek).
