Норма и девиация в сексологии: определение диапазона понятия

Abstract

The article looks at the concepts 'norm' and 'deviation' in sexology and discusses different approaches to them. The author substantiates his own understanding of them and gives their taxonomies that include moral and ethical precepts, physiological and anatomical conventions, functional, or situational, conventions, psychogenous inevitability, somatotraumatic dependence, intentional conventions, and pathological and heuristic canons. These allow concretising the semantic range of the dichotomy 'norm deviation' within interpretation of types of sexual activities that are characteristic of the Slavs.
