“人类性行为要素说”的前途 |
考虑到现代性学研究发现,只是使用人的“性驱力”似乎不再证明有效了。这样的概括性研究结论[1]可能不会引领性学走得多远了。通过客观的调查研究,清晰地定义人类性活动的特殊方面似乎前途更加光明。同时,许多这样的调查研究已经有人着手实施了,并且已经产生了有实效和有时令人惊奇的成果。金西的调查统计数据分析综合出来了“性释放途径
(total
outlet,即人们可能达成‘性发泄’或说‘性满足’的不同渠道,金西归纳出6种)”。威廉·玛斯特斯和维吉尼亚·约翰逊在他们的实验室里,不仅测量出性行动的生理反应,而且获得了性能力的数据。这些研究成果和许多其它的研究成果对阐明这个课题取得了巨大的进步。目前,科学家也正在性动机领域做着更细致的研究。无论如何,这些研究工作和其它类似的努力,可能会导致对从前模糊不清的研究课题得出富有洞悉力的成就,因而我们可以期待将来会带给我们更为逼近真理的结果,那就是进一步揭示令人模糊不解的人类性行为这个复杂事物的真相。

In view of modern research findings, it no longer appears justified to speak simply of a human "sex drive". Such a summary approach is not likely to lead very far. It seems much more promising to investigate clearly defined special aspects of human sexual activity. In the meantime many such investigations have been carried out, and they have produced useful, and sometimes surprising, results.
Kinsey's statistics counted "total outlets" (i.e., units of sexual
performance). William H. Masters and Virginia E. Johnson, in their laboratory, measured not only performance, but also sexual
capacities. These and many other studies have done a great deal to clarify the issues.
At the present time, scientists are also conducting more detailed research in the area of sexual
motivation. In any case, these and similar efforts may lead to new insights into a formerly obscure subject, and thus we can hope that the future will bring us much closer to understanding the puzzling complexity of human sexual behavior.
