性交合

古埃及综合了男女性器官与蕴含着性交合的象形文字

Ancient Egyptian hieroglyph combining the symbols of the female and male sex organs and meaning coitus

 

术语性交合(coitus, coition,自拉丁语coire:走到一起)是指阴茎插入阴道-或许为性交的最普遍的形式[1]它也是能够导致怀孕的唯一性交类型。

存在这样一类人类社会,在那里,男女之间的性接触被限定在性交合的范围内,也就是说,被限定在阴道性交,于是,没有任何的性交预备行为,没有任何的变化花样,也没有任何的即兴发挥。这样的社会通常过分强调性的生育功能,而且阻止所有形式的性快乐,尤其反对妇女有性快乐。确实,甚至在我们自己的文化里,仍然有一些只对阴茎与阴道的交接感兴趣的男人,对于他们来说,任何其它的做爱游戏都是一件荒谬的傻事。更有甚者,他们的性交合可能绝不再持续数秒钟,因而,这些男人除了有急促的性高潮以外,也许很少得到性快乐。另一方面,他们的女性伴经常完全只有失落与不满。不过,也有一些夫妻,他们把性交变成了一种和缓、精致和变化多端的仪式。在许许多多性满足的方式里,他们也许把性交合视为唯一的方式。但是,当他们参与性交合的时候,他们每次可能会做那么数小时。最近数十年来,可靠的避孕药具的发明已经把许许多多的男女从非意愿妊娠的恐惧中解脱了出来。继而,这又增添了他们性交合的乐趣。


[1] 此处的“阴茎插入阴道”恐怕是以男子为主动方来说的。其实,性交合中也可以“阴道套住阴茎”的,这,当然以女子为主动方了。——译者注。

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.
