性行为的基本类型

1.
自我性刺激:
自娱(自慰、手淫) |
|
自娱：普遍的行为 |
|
在某些医学教科书里，自娱被看作是青春期几乎专有的性活动。的确，我们确信对于许多十几岁的青少年来说，自娱是最为普及的性活动方式，甚至是唯一的性释放方式。可是，这并不意味着它是人的性发展早期的典型特征，也并不意味着它只有在青春期才是“合适的”方式。它只不过意味着青少年没有足够的机会参与性交。实际上，许多成年人也会自娱，而且包括已婚夫妇在内。已婚者会有自娱的事实本身并不说明婚姻关系状态如何。一位丈夫或一位妻子除了他们有规律的性交生活以外，也许只是喜欢这种行为。老年男女当独居时、或当伴侣患病时、体弱时、或由于某些原因难有伴侣相伴时，也可能在自娱中重新得到极大的乐趣。在这些和其他许多案例里，自娱可能是性交的替代方式，它缓解身心紧张、锻炼身体和激发想象力，并且维持个人性能力的活力。最后要说的一点是，自娱对于那些有某些残障者，可能是一种重要的性释放途径。对于他们来说，某些现今可利用的机械的或电动的自娱辅助工具可能会证明尤其有好处。
自娱与婚内性交的年度频率统计
C先生是一位欧洲男人，已婚，育有两子女，从儿童期到67岁为止，他记录下了他的性活动。
正如这两条曲线所示，自娱(红色曲线)曾经是他婚前仅有的性释放途径，并且持续到婚姻期并伴有婚内性交(蓝色曲线)。C先生的行为也许是或也许不是典型的案例。不过，这张曲线图的确显示了男性性能力在青春期来临时的典型的高涨程度。 |

Annual frequency of masturbation and marital intercourse
Mr. C., a European man, married with two children, recorded his sexual activities from childhood to age 67.
As the two curves show,
masturbation (red) was his only outlet before marriage and continued along with his
marital intercourse (blue). Mr. C’s behavior may or may not be typical. However, the graph does show the
typical height of male sexual capacity shortly after puberty.

Basic Types of Sexual Behavior |
|
1. Sexual Self-stimulation: Masturbation
|
|
A Common Activity
|
|
In some medical textbooks masturbation is seen almost exclusively as an adolescent activity. Indeed, we know that for many teenagers masturbation is the most common or even the only sexual outlet. However, this does not mean that it is typical for the earlier phases of human sexual development and that it is "appropriate" only during adolescence. It simply means that adolescents do not have sufficient opportunity for sexual intercourse. In actual fact, many adults also masturbate, and this includes married couples. The fact alone that a married person masturbates says nothing about the marital relationship. A husband or a wife may simply enjoy the practice in addition to their regular sexual intercourse. Older men and women may also find themselves regaining great interest in masturbation when they live alone, or when their partners are sick, weak, or unavailable for some other reason. In these and many other cases, masturbation can be a substitute for sexual intercourse which relieves tension, exercises the body, stimulates the imagination, and keeps the sexual capacities alive. Finally, masturbation may be an important sexual outlet for people with certain disabilities. For them, some of the now available mechanical or electrical masturbation aids may prove particularly helpful.
