人类：生物-心理-社会动物
Man: A bio-psycho-social animal
考虑到多维和宽泛的人类的性象谱，假如可能的话，人们也意识到要想在先天遗传（生物的性）和后天习性（社会心理的性）之间划出清晰的界限，是非常困难的。的确，本性和教养都在塑造一个人的性中起作用，精确地说它们中那一个起了多大的作用？确实难以确定。仅一点是确定的：要想很好地理解人类的性，需要在整合自然科学和人文科学方面做出努力。性学，作为一门跨学科的科学，欲努力证明的恰恰就是这一点。性学研究的对象就是作为生物-心理-社会的生物——女人和男人。
Looking at the multidimensional, broad spectrum of human sexuality, one realizes that it is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to draw sharp distinctions between inherited traits (biological sex) and acquired habits (psychosocial sex). Certainly, both
nature and nurture play a role, but exactly how large a role each of them plays is often difficult to determine. Only one thing is certain: A better understanding of human sexuality requires the combined efforts of the natural and cultural sciences. Sexology, as an interdisciplinary enterprise, attempts to provide just that. It studies women and men as bio-psycho-social creatures.
