Research indicates that men view their women partner's orgasms as reflections of their masculinity and sexual esteem. The purpose of this study was to examine this phenomenon in more detail by exploring whether men's feelings of masculinity and sexual esteem, as well as their feelings of accomplishment, were influenced by the method by which their woman partner experienced orgasm. Specifically, 193 young adult men (primarily between the ages of 18 and 24) read one of three vignettes (a partner orgasming from intercourse, from manual/oral stimulation, or from vibrator use) and then rated their imagined feelings of masculinity, accomplishment, and sexual esteem. Findings indicated that men who imagined their partner orgasmed from intercourse or manual/oral stimulation had higher feelings of masculinity and accomplishment than those who imagined their partner orgasmed from a vibrator. We found a significant interaction between clitoral knowledge and vignette condition in predicting masculinity, with clitoral knowledge only predicting masculinity for men in the manual/oral stimulation condition. The results of this study have important implications for sex education and the prevention of sexual problems, as well as for the future study of positive sexual functioning in women and men.
研究表明，男性将其女性伴侣的性高潮视为自身男子气概和性自尊的体现。本研究的目的是通过探究男性的男子气概、性自尊以及成就感是否会受到其女性伴侣达到性高潮方式的影响，来更详细地考察这一现象。具体而言，193名年轻成年男性（主要年龄在18至24岁之间）阅读了三个小场景描述之一（伴侣通过性交、手动/口交刺激或使用振动器达到性高潮），然后对他们想象中的男子气概、成就感和性自尊感受进行评分。研究结果表明，想象伴侣通过性交或手动/口交刺激达到性高潮的男性，比想象伴侣通过振动器达到性高潮的男性具有更高的男子气概和成就感。我们发现，在预测男子气概方面，阴蒂知识与场景描述条件之间存在显著的交互作用，阴蒂知识仅能预测手动/口交刺激条件下男性的男子气概。本研究结果对性教育、性问题预防以及未来男女积极性功能的研究具有重要意义。
