人類的性行為要素 |

現代性學研究者實際上已經廢棄了性驅力的一般概念。作為替代，已經有了把性驅力分解成多個部分的趨勢。早在1940年，羅伯特·拉圖·迪金遜（R.
L. Dickinson）就已經在“性天賦（sex
endowment）、性能力（sex
capacity）與性驅力（sex
drive）”之間做了區分。1948年，阿爾弗雷德
C.
金西提出了性“能力”對應於“實際的性行動”，1958年，萊斯特
A.
柯肯鐸爾（Lester
A. Kirkendall）提出了“性能力（sexual
capacity）”、性行動（sexual
performance）”和“性驅力（sexual
drive）”的區分。迄今為止，後者似乎最有希望，因此，我們在此（只要稍微修改一下他的用語）倒是多半願意採用柯肯鐸爾的論點。簡而言之，當討論人類的性行為時，把它區分為三個要素似乎比較適用： |
-
①
性能力（sexual
capacity），即這個個體能夠做什麼。
-
②
性動機（sexual
motivation），即這個個體想做什麼。
-
③
性行動（sexual
performance），即這個個體確實做了什麼。

Factors in Human Sexual Behavior

Modern sex researchers have practically abandoned the general concept of a sex drive. Instead, there has been a tendency toward breaking it into components. As early as 1940,
R. L. Dickinson differentiated between "sex endowment, capacity, and drive." In 1948,
Alfred C. Kinsey spoke of sexual "capacity" as opposed to "actual performance"; and in 1958,
Lester A. Kirkendall
proposed a distinction between "sexual capacity, sexual performance, and sexual drive." ("Toward a Clarification of the Concept of Male Sex Drive," Marriage and Family Living, 20. November 1958,pp367-372). So far, this latter approach seems to be the most promising, and therefore we should perhaps adopt Kirkendall's argument here (while slightly modifying his language). In short: When talking about human sexual behavior, it seems useful to distinguish between three basic factors:
|
|
1. Sexual
capacity, i.e., what the individual
can do.
2. Sexual
motivation, i.e., what the individual
wants to do.
3. Sexual
performance, i.e., what the individual
does do.
