网络性活动：性别差异性及性别相似性

Online Sexual Activity: Gender Differences and Gender Similarities

摘要: 网络性活动(online sexual activity, OSA)指人们在网络上所进行的任何一种与性有关的活动，主要分为无唤醒的网络性活动、自行唤醒的网络性活动和交互唤醒的网络性活动，而男女性在网络性活动中所表现出的差异性和相似性一直是该领域内的焦点。多数研究发现，男性是网络性活动的主要参与者，在参与频率、参与年限以及参与的活动种类上都远超女性，这一现象可能与两性在社会化结果、性态度以及上网时间上的差异有关；然而，少数研究发现，两性会在自行唤醒的网络性活动中表现出一定的相似性，甚至女性偶尔会在网络性交流活动中表现得更加活跃，这主要源于女性对具有交互性质的网络性活动的偏好以及网络为女性的性解放提供的独特环境。未来应该进一步探讨影响性别差异的其它因素，探明网络促进女性性活动的心理机制，并且开拓我国文化背景的下的网络性活动研究。

Abstract: Online sexual activity (OSA) is the use of the Internet for any activity that involves sexuality. It is mainly divided into three categories: non-arousal OSA, solitary-arousal OSA and partnered-arousal OSA. The differences and similarities between men and women in OSA has been the hot topic in this field. Most studies revealed that men were the major participants of OSA, for men are more likely to participate in OSA, spend more time on OSA, and attend to more types of OSA than women. This may be due to the differences between the genders in socialization, sexual attitudes and time spent online. However, a few studies also found that there were some gender similarities in OSA, and women were even more active than man in some OSAs. This may be due to women's preference for interactive OSA and the unique environment the Internet provides for women's sexual liberation. In the future, other factors affecting gender differences in OSA and the psychological mechanisms of Internet promoting women's sexual liberation should be further explored, and the OSA researches under Chinese culture need to be expanded as well.
