術語“性交合(coitus,
coition,自拉丁語coire:走到一起)”是指陰莖插入陰道-或許為性交的最普遍的形式。它也是能夠導致懷孕的唯一性交類型。
存在這樣一類人類社會,在那裏,男女之間的性接觸被限定在性交合的範圍內,也就是說,被限定在陰道性交,於是,沒有任何的性交預備行為,沒有任何的變化花樣,也沒有任何的即興發揮。這樣的社會通常過分強調性的生育功能,而且阻止所有形式的性快樂,尤其反對婦女有性快樂。確實,甚至在我們自己的文化裏,仍然有一些隻對陰莖與陰道的交接感興趣的男人,對於他們來說,任何其它的做愛遊戲都是一件荒謬的傻事。更有甚者,他們的性交合可能絕不再持續數秒鐘,因而,這些男人除了有急促的性高潮以外,也許很少得到性快樂。另一方面,他們的女性伴經常完全只有失落與不滿。不過,也有一些夫妻,他們把性交變成了一種和緩、精緻和變化多端的儀式。在許許多多性滿足的方式裏,他們也許把性交合視為唯一的方式。但是,當他們參與性交合的時候,他們每次可能會做那麼數小時。最近數十年來,可靠的避孕藥具的發明已經把許許多多的男女從非意願妊娠的恐懼中解脫了出來。繼而,這又增添了他們性交合的樂趣。

Basic Types of Sexual Behavior |
2. Heterosexual Intercourse: Genital Intercourse |
Coitus |
The terms "coitus" and "coition" (lat. coire: to go together) refer to the insertion of the penis into the vagina - probably the most common form of sexual intercourse. It is also the only kind of sexual intercourse that can lead to the conception of a child.
There have been human societies where sexual contact between males and females was restricted to coitus, i.e. vaginal intercourse, without any preliminaries, variations, or improvisations. Such societies usually put a heavy emphasis on the procreative function of sex and discouraged all sexual pleasure, especially in women. Indeed, there are still some men even in our own culture who are interested only in the union of penis and vagina, and for whom any other loveplay is a ridiculous nuisance. Moreover, their coitus may never last more than a few seconds, and thus, apart from a quick orgasm, these men may find little sexual enjoyment. Their female partners, on the other hand, often remain completely frustrated. However, there are also some couples who turn their sexual intercourse into a slow, elaborate, and highly varied ritual. They may see coitus as only one among many ways of satisfying each other, but when they engage in it, they may do so for several hours at a time. In recent decades, the invention of reliable contraceptives has freed many men and women from the fear of an unwanted pregnancy. This, in turn, has increased their enjoyment of coitus. |
