Relatively little is known about gender differences in the orgasm experience. The objectives of this study were to compare men's and women's patterns of sexual arousal and desire before and after orgasm, and the predictors of their orgasmic pleasure. Using their typical technique, where masturbation enjoyment was similar to that experienced at home, 38 men and 38 women masturbated to orgasm in the laboratory. Physiological sexual arousal (genital temperature) and subjective sexual arousal and desire measurements were taken at baseline, after masturbation almost to orgasm, and immediately and 15 minutes after orgasm. In both genders, all measures increased significantly during masturbation, with a greater buildup leading to a more pleasurable orgasm. After orgasm, however, sexual arousal and desire decreased more quickly and consistently in men than in women, thereby replicating Masters and Johnson's (1966) observations. More men than women exhibited resolution of subjective sexual arousal and sexual satiation; their genital temperature also decreased more than women's but did not return to baseline. Women's orgasmic pleasure was related to a postorgasmic decrease in genital temperature but, unexpectedly, the maintenance of subjective sexual arousal and desire. Future studies should explore whether this pattern explains gender differences in the pursuit of additional orgasms.
关于性高潮体验中的性别差异，人们了解得相对较少。本研究的目的是比较男性和女性在性高潮前后的性唤起和性欲模式，以及他们性高潮愉悦感的预测因素。38名男性和38名女性在实验室中通过自慰达到性高潮，采用他们在家中类似的方式来进行自慰。在基线期、自慰接近高潮时、高潮后即刻以及高潮后15分钟时，测量生理性唤起（生殖器温度）以及主观性唤起和性欲。在两性中，所有测量指标在自慰过程中均显著增加，积累越多，性高潮越愉悦。然而，高潮后，男性的性唤起和性欲比女性下降得更快且更持续，从而重复了马斯特斯和约翰逊（1966年）的观察结果。表现出主观性唤起消退和性满足的男性多于女性；他们的生殖器温度下降幅度也大于女性，但未恢复到基线水平。女性的性高潮愉悦感与高潮后生殖器温度下降有关，但出乎意料的是，也与主观性唤起和性欲的维持有关。未来的研究应探讨这种模式是否能解释在追求更多性高潮方面的性别差异。
