Abstract

Background/objective

The Multidimensional Model of the Subjective Orgasm Experience (MMSOE) has been validated in the context of heterosexual relationships, with no evidence in the context of same-sex relationships. This study aims to examine the association of its dimensions (Affective, Intimacy, Sensory, and Rewards) with the propensity for sexual excitation, rating of sexual arousal, rating of genital sensations, and genital response.

Method

Sixty-eight young adults (34 males and 34 females) who were sexually active with people of the same sex participated in a laboratory task in which they viewed content-neutral and sexually explicit gay films. Regression models were conducted to explain the dimensions of MMSOE from measures of sexual arousal.

Results

In males, the rating of sexual arousal explained the Sensory dimension, while the genital response explained the Affective dimension, with sexual arousal as a state gaining more prominence. In females, however, the propensity for sexual excitation explained the Sensory dimension, with more salience of sexual arousal as a trait.

Conclusions

The MMSOE is shown to be a valid theoretical framework for the study of orgasmic experience in the context of same-sex relationships, with clear implications for clinical practice.

验证同性关系中主观性高潮体验的多维模型

主观高潮体验多维模型（MMSOE）已在异性恋关系中得到验证，但在同性关系中还没有证据。本研究旨在探讨其维度（情感、亲密、感觉和奖励）与性兴奋倾向、性唤起评分、生殖器感觉评分和生殖器反应之间的关联。68 名与同性有性行为的年轻人（34 名男性和 34 名女性）参加了一项实验室任务，观看了内容中立和性露骨的同性恋电影。研究人员建立了回归模型，从性兴奋的测量结果来解释 MMSOE 的各个维度。在男性中，对性唤起的评价解释了感官维度，而生殖器反应则解释了情感维度，性唤起作为一种状态变得更加突出。然而，在女性中，性兴奋倾向解释了感官维度，性兴奋作为一种特质更为突出。研究表明，MMSOE 是研究同性关系中性高潮体验的有效理论框架，对临床实践具有明确的指导意义。
