The potential link between orgasm consistency (i.e., the percentage of time an individual experiences orgasm during sexual interactions with a partner) and sexual satisfaction in mixed-gender sexual relationships remains underexamined in the literature. We combined two dyadic samples (N = 725 couples) and utilized Dyadic Response Surface Analysis (DRSA) to examine how both partners' orgasm consistency and their discrepancy of orgasm consistency predict both partners' sexual satisfaction. We found that partners' discrepancy in orgasm consistency was not uniquely connected to higher sexual satisfaction for either women or men; rather, the overall consistency of orgasm was connected to better sexual satisfaction for both partners. In addition, there was some evidence tentatively suggesting that men were more likely than women to report lower sexual satisfaction if his partner was orgasming more consistently than he was, as opposed to her reporting lower sexual satisfaction from him orgasming more consistently than she was; though this appears to be a rare scenario as only 5.9% of couples had women who orgasmed more consistently than men. This study may assist educators and clinicians as they help couples consider the sexual scripts surrounding orgasm consistency, and how they can attend to each others' desires in a way that maximizes sexual satisfaction for both partners.
在混合性别性关系中,性高潮一致性(即个体在与伴侣进行性互动时体验性高潮的时间百分比)与性满足之间的潜在联系在文献中仍未得到充分研究。我们结合了两个对偶样本(N=725 对夫妇),并利用对偶响应面分析(DRSA)来研究伴侣双方的性高潮一致性及其差异如何预测双方的性满足感。我们发现,伴侣性高潮一致性的差异与女性或男性的更高性满足感之间没有独特的联系;相反,整体的性高潮一致性与双方更好的性满足感有关。此外,有一些证据初步表明,如果男性伴侣的性高潮比他更一致,而不是他的性高潮比她更一致,那么男性比女性更有可能报告较低的性满足感;尽管这种情况似乎很少见,因为只有 5.9%的夫妇中女性的性高潮比男性更一致。这项研究可以帮助教育者和临床医生,因为他们帮助夫妻考虑围绕性高潮一致性的性脚本,以及他们如何以最大限度地提高双方性满足感的方式关注彼此的欲望。
