Abstract
Profile analysis can be used in sex research as a statistical procedure to assess the degree of similarity between various samples on different parameters of sexual behavior. Data are presented to analyze intergenerational changes comparing three independent samples including a time interval of approximately four decades. Profile analysis can differentiate the intergenerational trend. Results show (i) a clear trend of male-female profile-convergence over time; (ii) intergenerational changes in males are few with male sexual behavior seemingly little influenced by social changes; (iii) females show large intergenerational differences. These asymmetric trends demonstrate that the sexual changes within the last four decades are a one-sided process of females liberating from the "behavioral double standard."

The key defect in almost all clustering procedures seems to be the absence of a statistical model, and the suggestion is made that the clustering problem be stated as a mixture problem.

The results indicate obvious dangers in employing gross breakdowns of the age variable in that considerable differences within young and old age groups are observed and strongly suggests that the most rapid change is taking place among females in the 30–39 age group and that this change is such to produce intersex convergence in this age group.

In the course of 26 years the authors have collected sexual history data via interview on 1779 gynecological patients, aged 20 to 40, where the average age of women at first sexual intercourse decreased and the percentage of orgastic women grew, and high coital activity in marriage rose.
