New psychology research explains why some women devalue their own orgasms. Women and men reduce the importance they place on women experiencing climax when it happens infrequently. Read Full Article #Psychology #SexualHealth #GenderStudies
💡 A recent study published in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin suggests that women and men tend to devalue the importance of women experiencing climax when it happens infrequently. This psychological adjustment may protect self-esteem and relationship satisfaction in the short term.
💡 Researchers conducted two online experiments with 271 and 278 cisgender women, respectively. Findings indicated women valued orgasms least when imagining a history of infrequent orgasms combined with infrequent orgasms in a current relationship, leading to lowered expectations and self-protection.
💡 A third experiment with 278 heterosexual and bisexual men revealed they responded similarly to women, devaluing a hypothetical female partner’s orgasm under the same conditions of infrequency, with comparable consequences for imagined relationships.
