Story of Bali, Indonesia

The biopsychosocial model of human behavior includes biological, social, and psychological factors, which all interact throughout the life of individuals, as determinants of behavior (and illness) (Engel, 1977; Fink, 1988). The climate and ecology (e.g., plains. forests inhabited by dangerous wild animals, or animals of prey) also shape behavior patterns. Studies of ethologic and animal behavior draw attention to evolution as an influence on human behavior patterns .

It may seem curious why the Balinese themselves have not cited, critiqued, or protested the issue of climax as elaborated by Bateson, Mead, C. Geertz, and others. Two explanations were offered by Balinese anthropologists: (1) the traditional politeness of the Balinese; and (2) difficulties in understanding English writing, particularly the styles of certain author's*."Me latter seems more likely.

It is curious that lack or presence of climax, in the sense described by Bateson and Mead, has not been reported as characteristic of other cultures the question arises as to whether it I, as been seriously considered by other ethnographers.

Since all humans are-highly emotional creatures, it would be reasonable to assume, that people of all cultures experience and even need climaxes, which relieve tension. The biology-of sexuality offers a compelling argument for the implausibility of an absence of climax in any culture. The human orgasm is unquestionably a psycho physiologic climax . One could hypothesize that this ultimate point in the progression of the sexual response cycle, 'generally believed to develop from a drive of biologic behavioral origin clearly integrated into the condition of human existence' would likely be expressed in other human behavioral patterns in a manner parallel to maternal care and affection or sibling rivalry.1be resolution period immediately following female orgasm is often described subjectively by American women as one of well-being, of feeling beautiful, energetic, friendly, and generous, and of profound and prolonged sensuous pleasure (Hite, 1976). Data on Balinese sexuality are not yet available but are needed for comparison.

It is curious that lack or presence of climax, in the sense described by Bateson and Mead, has not been reported as characteristic of other cultures the question arises as to whether it I, as been seriously considered by other ethnographers.
