Previous research has described a greater use of fantasy and imagery during masturbation by men, than women. This study suggests that this gender disparity results from the increased frequency of bilateral speech representation found in the female brain. Support for this theory was obtained by comparing the use of autoerotic fantasy and imagery in another group distinguished by their degree of cerebral lateralization: dextral vs. sinistral males. The prediction that masturbatory fantasy and imagery would be more common in the more lateralized dextral males was partially confirmed in this study.
先前的研究表明，男性在自慰过程中比女性更多地使用幻想和意象。这项研究表明，这种性别差异是由女性大脑中双侧言语表征频率增加所致。通过比较另一组以大脑偏侧化程度区分的人群（右利手男性与左利手男性）在自慰幻想和意象方面的使用情况，获得了对这一理论的支持。本研究部分证实了这样的预测，即自慰幻想和意象在偏侧化程度更高的右利手男性中更为常见。
