人類的生存依靠性,所以我們進化去尋找適合的親密伴侶。但性在快樂和身心健康上擔當怎樣的角色,而為什麼一些性經驗比其他事情更令我們快樂呢? Virginia Lewis和DiAnne Borders (Lewis & Borders 1995) 發現性的滿足是單身中年專業女性的人生滿足感的第二大因素,僅次於工作滿足感。 為何我們要研究性? 性似乎決定和反映我們在一段關係中快樂的程度。伴侶間性慾不協調與較差的關係有關 (Blais, Sabourin, Boucher & Vallerand 1990 )。而異性戀的女性所感受到的愛、信任、熱情、親密和整體關係滿足感都和性的頻率及質素有關聯 (Costa & Brody 2007)。 最近的研究 (Smith 2007) 發現如果人們達成了Ryan和 Deci 所提出的三個基本心理需要 的其中一個,報告出來的性經驗會比較正面:
大多數正面心理學家傾向審慎地避免談及性。但研究提出它會影響我們整體的快樂,和印度tantric的看法一樣,認為性的表達是經歷心理成長和健康的機會。當這些研究指出性興奮和高潮都有正面而重要的心理影響,要促進和接受對美好人生更全面的認識,正面心理學家是時候不要那麼害羞了。 References: Blais, M.R., Sabourin, S., Boucher, C., Vallerand, R.
