Human sexual activity is not just a reflection of biological instinct, it contains rich psychological activities and is restricted by society. This is the fundamental difference between human sexual activities and animals. Sexual psychology refers to various psychological reactions in human sexual activities. It uses the psychological theories and methods to study human sexual psychology development, gender role socialization process, and sexual health. It is the science that studies people's psychological activities and their laws during sexual behavior, and is one of the branches of psychological science.

As an independent discipline, sexual psychology is generally based on the Psychopathia Sexualis by Richard von Krafft-Ebing, published in 1886. Havelock Ellis, a medical scientist from London, systematically collected cases of sexual behavior, and published his seven-volume works Studies in the Psychology of Sex one after another from 1896 to 1928, which is a very important reference book for doctors, psychologists and other academic experts.
