Although lubricant use is commonly recommended to women for solo and partnered sexual activities, little is known about women's use of lubricant or their relationship to sexual pleasure and satisfaction.
The aim of this study was to assess: (i) how adult women used lubricant during partnered and solo sexual activities; (ii) relations between women's reports of sexual pleasure and satisfaction and their use of a lubricant during a particular sexual event; and (iii) to what extent lubricant use was associated with subsequent genital symptoms.
A total of 2,453 women completed a 5-week internet-based, double-blind prospective daily diary study in which they were assigned to use one of six water- or silicone-based lubricants.
Baseline data included demographics, contraceptive use, and sexual behavior during the 4 weeks prior to study enrollment. Daily diary data included reports of penile-vaginal sex, penile-anal sex, solo sex, lubricant use, lubricant application, ratings of sexual pleasure and satisfaction, and genital symptoms.
Water-based lubricants were associated with fewer genital symptoms compared with silicone-based lubricants. In addition, the use of a water-based or silicone-based lubricant was associated with higher ratings of sexual pleasure and satisfaction for solo sex and penile-vaginal sex. Water-based lubricant use was associated with higher ratings of sexual pleasure and satisfaction for penile-anal sex as compared with no lubricant use.
The water- and silicone-based lubricants used in this study were associated with significantly higher reports of sexual pleasure and satisfaction and rarely associated with genital symptoms.
尽管人们普遍建议女性在独自或与伴侣进行性行为时使用润滑剂，但对于女性使用润滑剂的情况以及其与性愉悦和性满足的关系知之甚少。
本研究旨在评估：（i）成年女性在与伴侣和独自进行性行为时如何使用润滑剂；（ii）女性报告的性愉悦和性满足感与其在特定性行为中使用润滑剂之间的关系；以及（iii）润滑剂的使用与随后的生殖器症状之间的关联程度。
共有 2453 名女性完成了一项为期 5 周的基于互联网的、双盲、前瞻性日常日记研究，她们被分配使用六种水基或硅基润滑剂之一。
基线数据包括人口统计学特征、避孕措施以及研究入组前 4 周的性行为。日常日记数据包括阴道性交、肛交、自慰、润滑剂使用、润滑剂涂抹、性愉悦和性满足感评分以及生殖器症状的报告。
与硅基润滑剂相比，水基润滑剂与较少的生殖器症状相关。此外，使用水基或硅基润滑剂与独自性行为和阴道性交的性愉悦和性满足感评分升高相关。与不使用润滑剂相比，水基润滑剂的使用与肛交的性愉悦和性满足感评分升高相关。
本研究中使用的水基和硅基润滑剂与显著更高的性愉悦和性满足感报告相关，且很少与生殖器症状相关。
