Social Sciences - Psychology / sexuality; statistics
English term or phrase: average or median patterns of behavior
Although "normal" has often been used to imply "healthy" or "moral" behavior, social scientists use the word strictly as a statistical term. For them, normal sexual behavior is behavior that conforms to a group's {average or median patterns of behavior.} Normality has nothing to do with moral or psychological deviance.

Chinese translation:统计平均或统计中值代表的行为模式
Explanation:
normal在这里来自统计学中的正态分布,也叫钟形分布,目的是从随机事件中发现某一事物或事件发生的内在特征甚至规律。从分布曲线与横坐标之间围起来的面积看,平均值或中间值(周围)所对应的面积占百分比最高,因而用来代表大多数人的行为模式以做参考。

平均或居于中位的行为模式


Explanation:
http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/中位數

Average和median在这里都是统计学的用词,后者指的是“中位数”或“中位值”。例如,采样100个,总起来除以100,得到的数值是“平均值”,但若再确定100个采样中最接近平均值的确实数值,那个数值就是“中位数”(median)。

维基的解说虽然简略些,但已经够清楚了。所有的研究调查,评估调查结果都会用到median,以确定统计分布状况。

agree  Li Cao: 因为前文提到normal在这里是统计学上的名词,所以我觉得这样的解释呼应了前面,很恰当。

agree  Wenjer Leuschel (X): Yes. By adding "statistical 统计" to "average/median" and "representative 代表" to "median," the term becomes easier to reader for laymen, though it is redundant in the whole context.
