Abstract
Urbanologists and ethologists have strongly asserted that there is a human analogue of the crowding effects found among other animals. Extrapolating from animal behavior, it has been argued that sexual aberrations and deviations result from crowded conditions. Using a sample of urban families residing in conditions that range from compressed to open, crowding is observed to have very selective and modest effects on human sexual behavior—whether it be marital sex, extramarital involvement, homosexuality, or incest. Where an impact is noted, the greatest effect of crowding, as would be expected, is in a perceived lack of privacy for marital intercourse. But this is not followed by any of the deviations previously found among other animals.
