本文将格罗斯曼的健康资本概念扩展到性行为领域。文中讨论了“性资本”的两个组成部分，它们都与健康有关。其一是有效防止性传播感染的个人资产，如选择性伴侣的习惯和从中选择这些伴侣的社交网络，以及包括使用避孕套在内的性行为。第二个因素是这个人在实现性行为方面的有用资产，这是积极健康的一个因素。与其他形式的人力资本一样，这些嵌入的资产是通过战略选择和经验以及继承来获得的。(C)2004爱思唯尔B.V.保留所有权利。
This essay extends Grossman's concept of health capital to the domain of sexual behavior. Two components of "sexual capital" are discussed, both pertaining to health. One is the person's assets that are effective in preventing contraction of sexually transmitted infections, such as habits in selecting sex partners and the social networks from which those partners are selected, and sexual practices including use of condoms. A second is the person's assets useful in achieving sexual intimacy, an element in positive health. Like other forms of human capital, these embedded assets are acquired through strategic choice and experience as well as inheritance. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
