The orgasm experience refers to the psychological self-evaluation of the orgasm. No previous research has compared the characteristics of the orgasm experience between men and women creating a ranking of the adjectives that better represent it. The main objective of this study was to analyze gender differences in the global orgasm experience, its dimensions, and its descriptive words to examine how do heterosexual people rate their orgasms. A sample of 1619 heterosexual adults (793 men, 826 women) completed a background questionnaire and the Orgasm Rating Scale. Results showed that there were significant gender differences in the global orgasm experience and three of its dimensions. Furthermore, fourteen of the 25 descriptive words showed differences between genders. In the ranking, the top five adjectives that better described the orgasm experience were the same in both genders. In conclusion, although differences across gender in the orgasm experience were observed, heterosexual men and women share similar adjectives to rate their orgasms.
性高潮体验是指对性高潮的心理自我评价。以往尚无研究比较男性和女性性高潮体验的特征，也未对能更好地描述性高潮体验的形容词进行排序。本研究的主要目的是分析在整体性高潮体验、其维度及其描述性词语方面的性别差异，以考察异性恋者如何评价他们的性高潮。1619名异性恋成年人（793名男性，826名女性）的样本完成了一份背景调查问卷和性高潮评定量表。结果显示，在整体性高潮体验及其三个维度上存在显著的性别差异。此外，25个描述性词语中有14个存在性别差异。在排序中，男女两性中最能描述性高潮体验的前五个形容词相同。总之，虽然观察到性高潮体验存在性别差异，但异性恋男性和女性在评价性高潮时使用的形容词相似。
