Comparative analysis of sexual dreams of male and female students (PDF)

The sample consisted of 656 students, 245 males and 411 females. Research showed significant difference between genders concerning sexual dreams their appearance, frequency, image of sexual partner, and content subjective emotional experience during dreams and talk about sexual fantasies. Based on the obtained data, the authors believe that dreams with sexual content are not learned behavior, but biologically determined sexual behavior, and that cognitive elaboration of contents and objects of sexual fantasies is secondarily environmentally conditioned.

The article is in Serbian language, published in the journal 'Psihijatrija danas' (2000, Vol. 32, No. 4, pp. 227-242) by StankoviÄ Miodrag, ZdravkoviÄ Jezdimir A., and TrajanoviÄ Ljiljana (all from Klinika za zaÅ¡titu mentalnog zdravlja i neuropsihijatriju razvojnog doba KliniÄkog centra, NiÅ¡).
