ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to examine Norwegians’ reports of seven varied sexual acts. Data were obtained from a questionnaire survey of a probability-based web sample of 2,181 men and 1,967 women aged 18–89 years. Among seven acts of sexual variety, the most common sexual experiences were trying to watch pornography with a partner, engaging in sex in unusual places, and using sex toys. Older age was negatively associated with all sexual behaviors. Regarding more unorthodox acts of sexual variety, heterosexual men’s sexual preferences involved having and desiring group sex, whereas heterosexual women’s sexual experiences and desires involved having sex in unusual places. Lesbian, gay, bisexual (LGB) individuals generally showed greater curiosity or experience of having group sex and engaging in BDSM (bondage, discipline, dominance and submission, and sadomasochism) activities than heterosexual adults. However, while LGB men had a high preference for group sex activities, LGB women had more positive attitudes toward BDSM activity. Individuals appear to accumulate more acts of sexual variety over time, thus making the incorporation of sexual variety a function of age. This study supports the idea that sexual variety has expanded among those born from 1960 onwards.

摘要

这项研究的目的是检查挪威人关于七种不同性行为的报告。数据来自对 2,181 名男性和 1,967 名年龄在 18-89 岁的女性的基于概率的网络样本的问卷调查。在七种不同的性行为中，最常见的性经历是试图与伴侣一起观看色情内容、在不寻常的地方进行性行为以及使用性玩具。年龄较大与所有性行为呈负相关。关于更多非正统的性行为，异性恋男性的性偏好涉及进行和渴望集体性行为，而异性恋女性的性经历和性欲涉及在不寻常的地方发生性行为。女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋 (LGB) 个体通常表现出更大的好奇心或对集体性行为和参与 BDSM（束缚、纪律、支配和服从，以及施虐受虐）活动比异性恋成年人。然而，虽然 LGB 男性对集体性活动有很高的偏好，但 LGB 女性对 BDSM 活动有更积极的态度。随着时间的推移，个体似乎积累了更多的性变化行为，从而使性变化的结合成为年龄的函数。这项研究支持这样一种观点，即 1960 年以后出生的人的性别多样性已经扩大。
