This longitudinal prospective study was designed to examine the influence of menstrual cycle phase on female sexuality. Sixty-nine normally cycling women monitored their sexual behavior including both heterosexual and autosexual activities and their basal body temperature daily over two or three consecutive menstrual cycles. Temperature charts were used to ascertain five cycle phases (menstrual, postmenstrual, ovulatory, luteal and premenstrual) and data were analyzed using analyses of variance with repeated measures. The results supported a significant cyclic fluctuation in sexual behavior with both female-initiated and male-initiated sexual activities peaking in the ovulatory phase. Moreover, the findings indicated that women experienced increased sexual arousal and sexual pleasure as they progressed from the menses to the premenstruum. These data suggest that human sexual behavior may be influenced by hormonal fluctuations and cognitive factors associated with the menstrual cycle.
这项纵向前瞻性研究旨在探讨月经周期阶段对女性性行为的影响。69名月经周期正常的女性在连续两到三个月经周期内，每天监测自己的性行为，包括异性性行为和自体性行为，并记录基础体温。通过体温图表确定五个周期阶段（月经期、月经后期、排卵期、黄体期和经前期），并使用重复测量方差分析对数据进行分析。结果支持性行为存在显著的周期性波动，女性主动和男性主动的性行为在排卵期均达到峰值。此外，研究结果表明，女性从月经期到经前期，性唤起和性快感会增加。这些数据表明，人类性行为可能受与月经周期相关的激素波动和认知因素影响。
