VARIATIONS OF RHYTHMS OF COUPLES' SEXUAL ACTIVITY THREE MONTHS PRIOR TO CONCEPTION OF A BOY

Abstract

As is known, the rhythms of sexual activity considerably vary, but, unfortunately, it was not given of sufficient attention to an explanation of this phenomenon, besides ascertaining the fact by researches of A. Kinsey.

Probably, the variations of sexual activity provide adaptation of a population to environment. The theory of prezygotic sex determination was offered to explain, what ways it could occur. The special program of family planning reflects the applied aspects of this theory.

The married couple can plan conception of the son or daughter using this program. Sexologist acts as a psychotherapist and observes a pair within several months. The legal and ethical aspects of this activity were specified.

Volunteers - 47 couples were invited to participate in the program of family planning. Sexological examination was carried out, and reproductive attitudes were fixed. Pairs were under supervision during 3 - 7 months up to conception.

The rhythm of sexual activity up to the introduction into the program to conceive a male baby was fixed, and during the performance of the program. The phenomenology of sexuality changes was established. The supervisions were distributed on three groups.

In the first group (n =12) the rhythm of sexual activity was intensive enough (5-7 sexual intercourses per week) and at performance of the program essentially did not vary.
In the second group (n =26) the intensity of sexual life was 1-3 sexual intercourse per week and the sexual activity raised up to 3-7 intercourse per week.
In the third group (n = 9) before performance of the program the sexual activity was irregular, and the periods of abstention from 2 about 5 weeks alternated by intensive sexual life - up to 5-7 sexual intercourse per week, of the periods from 1 to 4 weeks. At performance of the program, the spouses supported a regular rhythm of sexual life (3-7 sexual intercourse per week) during a minimum 3 months up to conception.

At change of rhythms of sexual activity, the changes in duration of the sexual intercourse in the direction of increase were usually marked. At the women, the frequency of orgasm achievement increased. Moreover, the couples' erotic behavior changed, - the spouses expanded its spectrum.

Thus, the intensity of sexual life influences quality of sexual reactions and behavior of a couple.
