叫床

雌性动物交配时叫声

雌性交配发声(英语:female copulatory vocalizations),也称雌性交配叫声(英语:female copulation calls)、性交发声(英语:coital vocalizations)、雌性交欢发声等,俗称叫床娇喘叫春等,主要由雌性灵长类动物(包括人类女性)或非灵长类动物产生(雄性在性交时也会发出声音[1]:1405, 1406-07)。交配发声通常发生在交配期间,因此与性活动有关。[2] 为吸引交配对象而在性交前发出的叫声称为交配鸣叫(英语:Mating call,俗称亦为叫春等)。

在灵长类动物中,通常在交配结束时观察到交配叫声[3],并且物种之间在其发生、频率和形式方面存在巨大差异。研究者一致认为,性交发声实现了演化目的[4],且它们可以作为雌性面临问题的适应性解决方案,例如杀婴获得高品质的精子[3]

在非灵长类动物中,交配呼叫主要发生在交配之前,以吸引配偶。各物种之发声频率(14 Hz[5] 至 70,000 Hz[6])和功能各不相同。雌性发声的主要目的之一是诱导雄性的交配对象保护行为​​。[7] 相反,也可以使用叫声来吸引可以阻止与初始伴侣发生性关系的高级伴侣。[8] 这样做是为了引起雄性配偶竞争

在人类中,性交发声与性高潮有关[9],因此发生在交配期间并作为性快感的表达。女性可以有意使用发声来提高伴侣的自尊心并加速射精的发生。[10] 这类表达可能透过言语,也可能是非言语的,如用力呼吸、呻吟、尖叫、大叫、下流话、哭声及笑声等[1]:1405

研究者注意到,像豚尾狒狒等物种中,有些特定的发音只在性活动中出现[1]:1406

叫床的原因

有关叫床,有许多不同的理论,一方面有学者认为叫床中有一些明显的沟通模式,因此认为和其他灵长类交欢时发声的原因相近(如给潜在的性伴侣、使其兴奋、邀请参与精子竞争等,参见“其他灵长类物种”段落[11])。有一个研究发现女性叫床的声音在接近高潮时会更加激烈,在高潮时的发声会非常快速、有规律的节奏,包括发声持续的时间及间隔的时间等,这些是男性的叫床所没有的特点[1]:1405, 1405-06。叫床可以使其性伴侣在她高潮的时刻兴奋,有助于确认当其高潮后,阴道放松,会在子宫颈形成精子池,方便精子进入子宫[1]:1406-07

另一方面,也有学者指出大部分的女性叫床不一定伴随着自身的高潮,而是和性伴侣的射精有关。研究发现男性一般认为女性叫床既刺激又性感,女性本身也知道,因此叫床声音是让男性更快射精,或是提升其愉悦感及(或)自尊[12]

女性希望男性更快射精的原因可能包括女性性交时的疼痛、挫折甚至是无聊,也可能是设法为性活动设定一时限。希望提升男性自尊的原因则包括强化配对关系英语pair bond,减少情感及性上的不贞及遗弃[12]

其他灵长类物种

学者有针对其他灵长类物种的交欢时发声提出一些原因。灵长类研究者认为狒狒交欢时发声的天性,和当时是否快要排卵有关[13]。因此交欢时发声是告诉其他潜在的性伴侣其正在发情期、可能受孕,邀请参与精子竞争,因此表示狒狒是多配偶制而不是单一配偶制英语Monogamy in animals。发声中也有和此狒狒交欢的雄狒狒的状态,也可能让其他雄狒狒更容易和此雌狒狒交配[11]
