Reproduction: Humans

绪论 - 什么是性行为?
性行为当前的含义 3: 生殖行为
人类的生殖行为

在最高等的哺乳动物——人,其性行为模式甚至变得更有可塑性和更为复杂。人自生下来就具备一些基本的性反应能力,但是并不具备以任何特定方式实施性交的能力。因而,(要获得性交的能力),他们几乎完全依赖于观察和体验。人类的性行为变化多端,并且生殖不再成为其基本的功能。与之不同的是,人类个体的性满足及其多种多样的社会联系目的可能变得尤为重要。简而言之,当我们讨论人类(性行为)的时候,我们不能只是简单地把它与生殖等同起来。人类的性行为超越了生殖行为的范畴,所以需要我们从更广泛的角度加以研究和做出解释[1]

Introduction - What is sexual behavior?

Current Meanings of the Term 3: Reproductive Behavior

Humans

 

The behavioral pattern becomes even more flexible and complex in the highest mammal - man. Human beings are born with the capacity for certain basic sexual responses, but are not in any specific way programmed for mating. Thus, they depend almost entirely on observation and experience. Their sexual behavior is exceedingly variable, and fertilization may no longer be its primary function. Instead, individual satisfaction and various social goals may turn out to be much more important. In short, when we talk about humans we cannot simply equate sex with reproduction. Human sexual behavior is more than reproductive behavior, and it therefore requires another, much broader definition than the one provided above.
