The Evolutionary Biology of Human Female Sexuality

ISBN: 9780195340990 出版年：2008 页码：422 Thornhill, Randy Gangestad, Steven W Oxford University Press

Research conducted in the last fifteen years has placed in question many of the traditional conclusions scholars have formed about human female sexuality. Though conventional wisdom asserts that women's estrus has been evolutionarily lost, Randy Thornhill and Steven W. Gangestad assert that it is present, though concealed. Women, they propose, therefore exhibit two sexualities each ovulatory cycle-estrus and sexuality outside of the estrous phase, extended sexuality-that possess distinct functions.
