Given the potential value of masturbation as an alternative to high-risk sexual practices, there is a need to investigate factors surrounding this method of physiological sexual fulfillment. Therefore, this study examined the differences, if any, between women who have engaged in masturbation only (MO), both masturbation and sexual intercourse (MSI), and sexual intercourse only (SIO). An anonymous questionnaire was administered to volunteer respondents enrolled at a Midwestern university, yielding a subsample of 777 never-married, heterosexual women. Group comparisons indicated that MO Group women were most likely to feel guilty about engaging in masturbation and petting, but least likely to report either comfort with their sexuality or sexual satisfaction. MSI Group women indicated that, while growing up, they were less attached to their mother and father figures, whom they rated as uncommunicative. They also were more likely to have engaged in risk-related sexual behaviors. SIO Group women were more likely to have used contraceptives at first sexual intercourse and to report fewer lifetime sex partners than MSI Group women. Since a substantial number of college women refrain from engaging in masturbation, yet choose to have unprotected sexual intercourse and multiple sex partners, and others engage in masturbation but report experiencing guilt feelings regarding self-stimulation, it is of crucial importance that the negative connotations of masturbation and its attendant impact on sexual satisfaction be addressed by sexuality educators, clinicians, and researchers.
鉴于自慰作为高危性行为替代方式的潜在价值，有必要调查围绕这种生理性满足方式的相关因素。因此，本研究考察了仅进行自慰（MO）、既进行自慰又有性交行为（MSI）以及仅进行性交行为（SIO）的女性之间的差异（若存在差异的话）。对一所中西部大学的志愿受访者进行了匿名问卷调查，得到了777名从未结婚的异性恋女性的子样本。组间比较表明，MO组女性进行自慰和亲昵行为时最容易感到内疚，但在报告对自身性方面的舒适感或性满足方面可能性最小。MSI组女性表示，在成长过程中，她们与母亲和父亲的关系较疏远，她们认为父母不善沟通。她们也更有可能参与过与风险相关的性行为。SIO组女性在首次性交时更有可能使用避孕措施，且报告的性伴侣终生数量比MSI组女性少。鉴于大量大学女性避免自慰，但选择进行无保护的性行为和拥有多个性伴侣，还有一些女性进行自慰但报告对自我刺激有内疚感，性教育工作者、临床医生和研究人员解决自慰的负面含义及其对性满足的附带影响至关重要。
