男女之歡的237個理由！

最近孤草的博客裏，保媒 同居 婚姻的忙得不亦樂乎。今天我也湊個熱鬧貼個男歡女愛 男女之歡的237個理由！這些可不是我想出來得喲。

 

今天看到美國得克薩斯大學，Cindy Meston，一個心理學博士的一篇文章，她對203個男士和241位女士進行問卷調查，這些被調查者的年齡在17到52歲之間。最初的調查結果中共羅列了715個理由，經過研究人員的分析整理，刪除一些相似重複無意義，最終選出了237個理由來解釋為什麽要有男女之歡  Why Humans Have Sex?

 

下麵將主要的列於此： 

9 Leading Reasons for Having Sex

The researchers identified nine broad themes that characterize the top reasons for having sex:

1. Pure attraction to the other person in general
2. Experiencing physical pleasure
3. Expressing love
4. Having sex because of feeling desired by the other
5. Having sex to escalate the depth of the relationship
6. Curiosity or seeking new experiences
7. Marking a special occasion for celebration
8. Mere opportunity
9. Sex just happening due to seemingly uncontrollable circumstances

Top 10 Reasons Why Women Have Sex

The researchers broke down the leading reasons why men and women have sex. Eight of the top 10 reasons were shared by men and women.

Here are women's top 10 reasons for having sex:

1. I was attracted to the person.
2. I wanted to experience the physical pleasure.
3. It feels good.
4. I wanted to show my affection to the person.
5. I wanted to express my love for the person.
6. I was sexually aroused and wanted the release.
7. I was "horny."
8. It's fun.
9. I realized I was in love.
10. I was "in the heat of the moment."

Top 10 Reasons Why Men Have Sex

In the study, men's top 10 reasons for having sex are quite similar to the women's list. Here are men's top 10 reasons for having sex, according to the study:

1. I was attracted to the person.
2. It feels good.
3. I wanted to experience the physical pleasure.
4. It's fun.
5. I wanted to show my affection to the person.
6. I was sexually aroused and wanted the release.
7. I was "horny."
8. I wanted to express my love for the person.
9. I wanted to achieve an orgasm.
10. I wanted to please my partner.

看上述理由，好像為生衍生育的理由並沒有被列在其中，看來當今為傳宗接代而發生性行為的人已經不多了，不知這是否稱得上是人類的進步？！不管怎樣，還是覺得美國科研經費和人員一定是太多了吧，這種問題，也值得興師動眾立項研究！
