人类性行为三要素的简要分析

简单的常识告诉我们,性能力、性动机和性行动并不总是完全一致。毕竟,当想要实施性行动的时候,极少有人能够有机会达到他能够做到和想要做到的任何事情。至少,性学研究者已经证明,譬如在男性,其最强的性能力通常在青春期不久就达到了,却缺乏实施性行动的机会,他们实际的性行动可能仍然少。只有数年之后,当他们的机会已经增加的时候,他们的性行动数量才达到高峰,但是他们的性能力就不再像以前一样地强了。或者再举另一个例子,研究显示女性的性能力通常比她们的性动机要强。有一些人可能也发现自己高频率的性行动伴随着低强度的性动机。与之有差异的是,性动机也许主要就是经济需要(就像妓女的例子)或主要就是交际需要(就像一位疲惫不堪的妻子想要挽回丈夫的例子)。

Factors in Human Sexual Behavior

The Three Factors 2

Simple common sense tells us that sexual capacity, motivation, and performance do not always coincide. After all, when it comes to sex, very few people have the opportunity to do everything they can do and want to do. At any rate, sex researchers have demonstrated that in males, for instance, the greatest sexual capacity is usually reached shortly after puberty. However, because of various social restraints, psychological inhibitions, and a lack of opportunity, their actual sexual performance may still be low. It may reach its peak only years later, when their opportunities have increased, but their capacity is no longer as great as before. Or, to take another example, it has been shown that in females the sexual capacity is often much greater than the sexual motivation. In some people, one may also find a high level of sexual performance combined with a low level of sexual motivation. Instead, the motivation may be mostly financial (as in the case of a prostitute) or social (as in the case of a tired wife who wants to hold on to a husband).
