The important roles of hearing, smell and touch in sexual psychology
[Hearing and Sexual Psychology] Hearing is mainly about receiving special and moving sounds as language. In sexual choices, the importance of hearing is second only to sight.
In interactions between men and women, in addition to visually observing the physical appearance and behavior of the opposite sex, one also uses auditory perception to understand each other's conversations. From the conversations of the opposite sex, one can make a preliminary assessment of the other party's cultural level, psychological qualities, and certain personality traits.
First-time lovers often use sweet words to explore the mindset of their partners in order to win their affection.
Conversations during the passionate phase of a relationship are often filled with intense emotions and feelings, with language becoming the primary means for couples to convey their emotions.
Whispering to each other, sharing their innermost feelings, and exchanging emotions brings them closer psychologically.
This kind of language between lovers can easily create sensuality and lead to intoxication.
A young man was deeply in love with a young woman. They lived in the same building, and the young man would feel excited whenever he heard the woman's voice.
This shows how important a person's psychological state is to the sexual effects of hearing.
As a musician once said, only a joyful state of mind can appreciate beautiful music.
Although the content of language plays a decisive role, the tone, timbre, and emotion of the speaker can also directly affect its effect.
For men, hearing a woman's sweet, melodious voice is a beautiful experience, while for women, hearing a man's deep, resonant voice gives them a sense of security and a masculine charm.
A woman's hoarse, rough voice and a man's high-pitched voice can greatly diminish the expressiveness of language.
Music acts on the sense of hearing, appearing as a perfect combination of words, rhythm, and melody. Therefore, although it has no language, the emotions it expresses have a magical effect, often captivating people.
The reason why music has such a strong appeal and infectious power largely depends on the beauty of its sound.
Love songs are a combination of music and language. They have both direct expression of linguistic content and beautiful rendering of musical melodies, thus they are more capable of arousing people's passion.
Love songs are mostly tender and intoxicating, easily resonating with lovers on a psychological level.
Even today, some young men and women from ethnic minorities still use songs to propose marriage, which is a special function of love songs.
[Smell and Sexual Psychology] Every animal's body emits a certain scent, which plays a positive role in the animal's courtship process.
Male animals often have scent glands in their reproductive organs, and female animals often have a distinctive body odor during mating season; both are highly attractive to the opposite sex.
However, in humans, the allure of physiological odors is less than that of sight and hearing, and thus becomes secondary.
Human body odor is determined by factors such as race, age, constitution, emotions, and diseases.
Generally speaking, the physiological odor emitted by healthy men and women has a slightly unpleasant smell, but it is not only not disliked by the opposite sex, but is actually loved by the opposite sex after long-term contact.
Women emit a stronger physiological scent than men, therefore, the sexual stimulation of women to men is much greater than that of men to women.
This is probably why women are particularly interested in cosmetics such as perfumes.
Some people suffer from halitosis, body odor, etc. due to physiological or medical reasons, which is distressing. Some people even experience failed relationships because of it, causing them great psychological pressure and an unusually heavy mental burden.
However, these diseases are not terrible and can be completely cured with modern medical technology.
[Touch and Sexual Psychology] Touch is the dominant way for all animals to mate.
Humans are intelligent animals, and the main sensory organ of humans is the skin. The skin maintains a reflexive connection with the functions of the sexes. Skin contact between lovers can trigger special pleasure between the sexes, which complements the lack of visual and auditory sensations.
Generally speaking, there are four ways for men and women to have physical contact: touching, hugging, kissing, and sexual intercourse.
(1) Touching: Touching between opposite sexes usually starts with hand contact, then moves to the body, especially the breasts and armpits, and finally to the sensitive sexual organs.
When you touch the skin of a loved one of the opposite sex, you feel a sense of happiness brought by their warmth.
Sometimes, even partial skin contact, such as touching erogenous zones like the breasts, can produce physiological pleasure and a sense of sexual intimacy, providing both physical sensuality and psychological joy.
(2) Hugging: Hugging is a further enhancement of touching and has a more direct effect on stimulating sexual desire.
In an embrace, both partners seek maximum physical contact, creating an inseparable sense of unity and stimulating the enjoyment of sensuality, an enjoyment that persists throughout the act of intercourse.
(3) Kissing: Kissing plays an important role in sexual stimulation and sexual expression, and is usually the earliest sexual experience shared by men and women.
There are many ways to stimulate sexual desire and express love, but kissing is a way that is repeated repeatedly during sex between couples.
During the act of kissing, the two exchange desire, submissiveness, and promises.
(4) Sexual intercourse: Sexual intercourse is the highest expression of sexual love and the ultimate goal of making love.
Because the most sensitive parts of the sexual organs are involved in the activity, the physiological pleasure is pushed to its peak, while also bringing psychological satisfaction.
[Psychological characteristics of adolescents] (1) Increased attention to women.
After boys and girls enter puberty, their sexual awareness gradually shifts from the childhood mentality of "distancing themselves from the opposite sex" to the mentality of "approaching the opposite sex," and boys gradually develop affection for women.
Boys are paying more attention to girls and are increasingly enjoying interacting with them.
He felt very happy when he saw the girl he admired there.
However, most boys are shy about expressing their feelings of affection for girls, and they don't show it directly in their behavior or even cover it up. They want to get close, but they are bound by certain conventions and keep a certain distance.
A few men also find it difficult to control their feelings of affection, writing letters to the women to express their love or frequently contacting them, boldly revealing their feelings of affection.
(2) To show off one's abilities.
Driven by their attraction to women, men develop the psychological and behavioral need to attract women's attention and gain their favor, and thus like to show off their abilities in front of women to demonstrate their talents and knowledge.
Some teenagers' aggressive behavior often stems from a desire to show off, especially when their girlfriends are present, hiding an unconscious urge to demonstrate that they are real men.
Men begin to pay attention to their appearance, and when they are with women, they often stare at the woman they admire, observe her reaction to them, and express their expectations with their eyes.
(3) Feeling nervous when interacting with women.
During adolescence, although boys may develop feelings of attraction towards women and feel unwilling to show weakness in front of them, they often inevitably experience a sense of tension when interacting with them, such as during conversations, jokes, recreational activities, or private conversations.
The reasons are quite complex, possibly due to worldly views, fear of public opinion, and fear of being gossiped about.
This tension can gradually disappear as interactions and friendships between the sexes increase.
