  • Sexual Cognitions of Dominance and Submission: Effects of Gender and Sexual Orientation
    Juan Carlos Sierra, Liseth G. Diaz-Rodríguez, Carlos Pérez-Amorós
    European Journal of Psychology Applied to Legal Context, 2026
  • The Association Between Sexual Cognitions of Dominance/Submission and Sexual Arousal Challenges Traditional Gender Roles
    Juan Carlos Sierra, Andrea Jiménez-Olmedo, Carlos Pérez-Amorós, Gracia M. Sánchez-Pérez
    Psychological Reports, 2026
    Given the lack of research examining the relationship between sexual cognitions of dominance and submission — experienced as positive (PSC) and negative (NSC) — and sexual arousal, this study examines gender differences in this association. A total of 1,400 cisgender heterosexual adults (700 men and 700 women), aged 18 to 79 years ( M = 35.91; SD = 13.66), participated in the study. They self-reported the frequency of dominance and submission PSC and NSC, as well as sexual arousal and penile erection/vaginal lubrication experienced in the context of heterosexual sexual activity. The results indicate, first, gender differences in the frequency of these sexual cognitions: men report PSC more frequently and women report NSC more frequently; and second, that sexual cognitions involving submission (both positive and negative) have a greater association with sexual arousal in men than in women, whereas positive sexual cognitions of dominance showed the inverse pattern. The findings are discussed considering traditional gender roles.
  • Exploring the Relationships Between Sexual Arousal and Subjective Orgasm Experience on Masturbation in LGB Young Adults

    <title>ABSTRACT</title> <sec> <title>Background/Objective:</title> <p> Current evidence on the Multidimensional Model of the Subjective Orgasm Experience in the context of solitary masturbation is limited to heterosexual samples. This study explores the model’s validity in LGB individuals by analyzing the relationship between its dimensions (affective, sensory, intimacy, and rewards) and different sexual arousal measures. </p> </sec> <sec> <title>Method:</title> <p> Seventy-six LGB young adults (38 men, 38 women; aged 18-32) participated in a lab task involving content-neutral and sexually explicit films showing same-sex actors engaged in self-exploration and solitary masturbation. The assessment included subjective orgasm experience (SOE), propensity for sexual excitation, ratings of sexual arousal (RSA) and genital sensations (RGS), and genital response (penile circumference or vaginal pulse amplitude). Regression analyses explored the links between sexual arousal measures and the SOE dimensions. </p> </sec> <sec> <title>Results:</title> <p> In men, genital response was key: it positively explained affective (β = .34) and rewards (β = .36) dimensions. In women, subjective sexual arousal was more influential: the RSA positively explained sensory (β = .34) and intimacy (β = .66) dimensions, while the RGS negatively explained intimacy (β = -.43). </p> </sec> <sec> <title>Conclusions:</title> <p> Findings support the model’s validity in LGB populations, revealing gender-specific patterns.</p> </sec>

  • Exploring Intimate Dynamics in Same-Sex Couples: The Role of the Subjective Orgasm Experience in Relationship Satisfaction
    Pablo Mangas, Juan Carlos Sierra, Carlos Pérez‐Amorós
    Personal Relationships, 2025
    The subjective orgasm experience (SOE) is conceptualized as the evaluation of orgasm from a psychological approach. There are a few precedents regarding the association of this dimension of sexuality with nonsexual aspects, such as relationship satisfaction. This study involved 110 Spanish same‐sex couples (53 male and 57 female), ages ranging from 18 to 54 years, and an average relationship duration of 42.82 months. Most participants reported exclusively homosexual sexual practices, with some engaging in varying degrees of bisexual contact. The study analyzed the dyadic effects of SOE dimensions (i.e., affective, sensory, intimacy, and rewards) on relationship satisfaction and the extent to which intradyadic discrepancies in SOE dimensions explain the variance in relationship satisfaction. In male couples, relationship satisfaction was positively explained by the individual's affective dimension and negatively explained by the partner's intimacy dimension. In female couples, it was positively explained by the partner's rewards dimension. The analysis of discrepancies revealed a decrease in relationship satisfaction due to intradyadic discrepancies in the affective and intimacy dimensions, but only in male couples. Our findings emphasize the need to consider how the perception of orgasm may influence satisfaction with relationship quality and the valuation of bonding.
  • Subjective orgasm experience in different-sex and same-sex couples: A dyadic approach
    Carlos Pérez-Amorós, Juan Carlos Sierra, Pablo Mangas
    Journal of Social and Personal Relationships, 2024
    The subjective orgasm experience (SOE) refers to the perception, sensation and/or evaluation of orgasm from a psychological point of view, representing an important construct of sexual functioning rarely studied under a dyadic approach. This study analyzed SOE in the contexts of sexual relationships and solitary masturbation in 179 different-sex and same-sex couples. The results indicated the absence of differences in intradyadic discrepancies in SOE dimensions in both sexual contexts, varying according to the type of couple. Besides, the study also highlights the influence of some of these discrepancies of SOE in solitary masturbation on SOE discrepancies in sexual relationships among the members of male-female and female-female couples. Furthermore, the study revealed that the intensity of partners' orgasm experience during solitary masturbation influences the intensity of SOE during sexual relationships, with variations observed based on the type of couple. These findings highlight the importance of considering SOE from a dyadic approach, with the association of orgasmic experience in both sexual contexts gaining relevance, differing according to the couple type. The results also point to the clinical implications of the dyadic effects of such an individual practice as solitary masturbation on shared sexual experiences.
