“…And another is to regard them as social events, sometimes instigated by a physiological fact such as failing erectile capacity, but irrevocably socially located in the wider culture and its assumptions and ideals about sexuality and sexual practice. In ASHR we took the last approach, drawing on the (heavily sociological) NHSLS in the 1990s (Laumann et al, 1994) and Gagnon's earlier work with Simon on sexual scripts (1974). Therefore we do not claim to report the prevalence of sexual interest/arousal disorder, erectile disorder, premature ejaculation, or genito-pelvic pain as defined in DSM-5; we claim only to report what people said when asked questions about things that may have occurred in their sexual life in the previous year.…”

“…to sexual behavior researchers, sexual health practitioners, and sexual counsellors and therapists. The first Australian Study of Health andRelationships (ASHR1, data collected 2001-2002) reported on sexual difficulties experienced by respondents, using questions based on those of the United States National Health and Social Life Survey (NHSLS; Laumann et al, 1994) with minor changes in wording for the Australian setting (Richters, Grulich et al, 2003). This was the first large Australian study examining sexual difficulties among the general population and was widely cited and used in training sexual counsellors and sexual health physicians-and in estimating market potential for sexuopharmaceuticals.…”

“…It may be continuous or episodic. Based on the Kinsey report, thresholds used to quantify the "excessive sexual consumption" are usually the following: 7 or more orgasms per week for at least 6 consecutive months (after the age of 15 years) [10], or more than one orgasm per day for 1 year or more [11].…”

“…This study presents a new paradigm for human sexual behavior studies by demonstrating that smart sex toys and mobile social networks can be used to obtain objective human sexual behavior data. It is anticipated that the findings from analyzing these more objective data can help deepen our understanding of human sexual behavior, as well as help to improve sexual health and sexual wellness [25][26][27][28]. This study may contribute to demystifying the ultimate secrets of human sexuality in the era of wireless IoT and big data [29].…”

Background Sexual health is one of the principal components of human well-being. Traditional methods for observing human sexual behavior typically adopt manual intervention approaches (eg, interviews). However, the data obtained by such traditional approaches suffer from intrinsic bias and limited sample sizes. Objective To address the limitations of traditional human sexual behavior data observation methods, a novel cyberphysical system is proposed to capture natural human sexual behavior data in China at the nationwide level. Methods A cyberphysical human sexual behavior acquisition system (SeBA) was designed and implemented. SeBA jointly utilizes state of the art information and communication technologies such as smart sex toys, smartphones, and mobile social networks. Smart sex toys enable objective collection of data on human sexual behavior, while the mobile social network provides the possibility of partnered sex in a cyberphysical manner. The objectives and function settings are discussed, and the overall framework of the system architecture is presented. Results Operation and privacy policies are proposed and the technical solution of SeBA is described. The effectiveness of SeBA was verified based on analysis of users’ human sexual behavior data collected from January 2016 to June 2017. A total of 103,424 solo sexual behaviors were recorded involving 13,047 users, and 61,007 partnered sexual behaviors from 7,140 users were observed. The proportions of males and females in the solo and partnered sex groups were fairly consistent with recent statistics on unmarried individuals in China. We also found that only a small portion of individuals provided information on at least one other attribute besides the required input of gender, such as age, height, location, job, sex preferences, purposes, and interests. Conclusions To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to analyze objective human sexual behavior data at the nationwide level. Although the data are restricted to China, this study can provide insight for further research on human sexual behavior based on the huge amount of data available from wireless smart sex toys worldwide. It is anticipated that findings from such objective big data analyses can help deepen our understanding of sexual behavior, as well as improve sexual health and sexual wellness.
