The relationship between masturbation activities and their effect on partnered sex is understudied.
The aim of this study was to assess the alignment of activities between masturbation and partnered sex, and to determine whether different levels of alignment affect orgasmic parameters during partnered sex.
2,215 women completed an online survey about activities during masturbation and reasons for orgasmic difficulty during masturbation, and these were compared with activities and reasons for orgasmic difficulty during partnered sex.
Degree of alignment between masturbation activities and partnered sex activities was used to predict sexual arousal difficulty, orgasmic probability, orgasmic pleasure, orgasmic latency, and orgasmic difficulty during partnered sex.
Women showed only moderate alignment regarding masturbation and partnered sex activities, as well as reasons for masturbation orgasmic difficulty and reasons for partnered sex orgasmic difficulty. However, those that showed greater alignment of activities showed better orgasmic response during partnered sex and were more likely to prefer partnered sex over masturbation.
Women tend to use less conventional techniques for arousal during masturbation compared with partnered sex. Increasing alignment between masturbation and partnered sexual activities may lead to better arousal and orgasmic response, and lower orgasmic difficulty.
STRENGTH & LIMITATIONS: The study was well-powered and drew from a multinational population, providing perspective on a long-standing unanswered question. Major limitations were the younger age and self-selection of the sample.
Women that align masturbation stimulation activities with partnered sex activities are more likely to experience orgasm and enhanced orgasmic pleasure, with sexual relationship satisfaction playing an important role in this process.

自慰活动及其对性行为的影响之间的关系尚未得到充分研究。
本研究旨在评估自慰活动与性行为之间的一致性，并确定不同程度的一致性是否会影响性行为中的性高潮参数。
2215 名女性完成了一项关于自慰活动和自慰性高潮困难原因的在线调查，并将这些结果与性行为和性行为性高潮困难原因进行了比较。
自慰活动和性行为活动之间的一致性程度用于预测性行为中的性唤起困难、性高潮概率、性高潮愉悦度、性高潮潜伏期和性高潮困难。
女性在自慰和性行为活动以及自慰性高潮困难原因和性行为性高潮困难原因方面仅显示出中等程度的一致性。然而，那些表现出更高活动一致性的女性在性行为中表现出更好的性高潮反应，并且更倾向于选择性行为而不是自慰。
女性在自慰时倾向于使用比性行为更少的传统性唤起技术。增加自慰和性行为活动之间的一致性可能会导致更好的唤起和性高潮反应，并降低性高潮困难。
研究具有足够的效力，并从多国人群中获得数据，为长期存在的未解答问题提供了观点。主要限制是样本的年龄较轻和自我选择。
将自慰刺激活动与性行为活动相匹配的女性更有可能体验到性高潮和增强的性高潮愉悦度，而性关系满意度在这一过程中起着重要作用。
