绪论 - 什么是性行为?
性行为当前的含义 2: 性欲行为

           性反应              在人类,男(蓝色曲线)女(红色曲线)的性反应都遵循着相同的基本反应模式:A =兴奋期;B =平台期;C =高潮期;D =消退期。可是,女性的性反应模式中,存在某种可能的变化,例如,多次性高潮反应。
Sexual Response
In humans, the sexual response follows the same basic pattern in both males (blue) and females (red): A = Excitement, B = Plateau, C = Orgasm, D = Resolution. However, there are some possible variations in the female pattern, e.g. multiple orgasms.

术语“性行为(sexual behavior)”可以是指涉及到身体“性反应”的任何行为。

这是一个现代的和颇为注重实效的定义。这个定义表明,当动物交配的时候,有许多都会经历一种必然的生理改变,这种生理改变显示一种特征性的反应模式,被人以术语性反应(sexual response将其做了概括。有人进一步注意到性反应甚至在生殖不可能发生的情况下也可以发生。因而,人们发现一些动物独处的时候却正在刺激它们自己的性器官,或者正骑跨在属于它们自己性别的伙伴背上,或者正设法与其它动物物种(包括人类)的个体发生交尾行为。在所有的这些行为里,都可以发生显而易见的性反应。这就是狭义定义的性行为。在人类,这种不导致生殖却涉及性反应的行为也常被称作性欲行为erotic behavior)。

Introduction - What is sexual behavior?

Current Meanings of the Term 2: Erotic Behavior

The term "erotic behavior" can refer to any behavior involving a "sexual response" of the body.
This is a modern and rather pragmatic definition. It reflects the observation that, when they mate, many animals experience certain physical changes which show a characteristic pattern and which may be summarized in the term "sexual response". It has further been noticed that this response can occur even in situations where reproduction is impossible. Thus, some animals have been seen stimulating their own sex organs when alone, or mounting partners of their own sex, or trying to copulate with members of other species (including man). In all of these cases, an obvious sexual response is involved. This is sexual behavior in the narrow sense of the term. In the case of humans, it is also often called erotic behavior.
