人類的性行為要素的簡要分析

簡單的常識告訴我們,性能力、性動機和性行動並不總是完全一致。畢竟,當想要實施性行動的時候,極少有人能夠有機會達到他能夠做到和想要做到的任何事情。至少,性學研究者已經證明,譬如在男性,其最強的性能力通常在青春期不久就達到了,卻缺乏實施性行動的機會,他們實際的性行動可能仍然少。只有數年之後,當他們的機會已經增加的時候,他們的性行動數量才達到高峰,但是他們的性能力就不再像以前一樣地強了。或者再舉另一個例子,研究顯示女性的性能力通常比她們的性動機要強。有一些人可能也發現自己高頻率的性行動伴隨著低強度的性動機。與之有差異的是,性動機也許主要就是經濟需要(就像妓女的例子)或主要就是交際需要(就像一位疲憊不堪的妻子想要挽回丈夫的例子)。

Factors in Human Sexual Behavior

The Three Factors 2

Simple common sense tells us that sexual capacity, motivation, and performance do not always coincide. After all, when it comes to sex, very few people have the opportunity to do everything they can do and want to do. At any rate, sex researchers have demonstrated that in males, for instance, the greatest sexual capacity is usually reached shortly after puberty. However, because of various social restraints, psychological inhibitions, and a lack of opportunity, their actual sexual performance may still be low. It may reach its peak only years later, when their opportunities have increased, but their capacity is no longer as great as before. Or, to take another example, it has been shown that in females the sexual capacity is often much greater than the sexual motivation. In some people, one may also find a high level of sexual performance combined with a low level of sexual motivation. Instead, the motivation may be mostly financial (as in the case of a prostitute) or social (as in the case of a tired wife who wants to hold on to a husband).
