Assessment of Sexual Behavior of Male Mice
Published on: March 5, 2020
Abstract:
From a teleological point of view, most sexual behavior can be assessed in terms of the private purpose of the person employed in it. This permits a psychological point of view that yet takes full account of an ethical system of values. Sexual behavior can be classified as useful or useless, depending upon whether the purpose is socially useful or socially useless. The latter is either openly destructive in consequences or fails to lead to satisfactory and meaningful sexual activity. Neurotic and sociopathic sexual symptoms all seem to be examples ofabuses ratheruses of sex. Such a value system can probably be useful to all counselors, clergy as well as members of the other healing profession.
