“…Muñoz-García et al [ 10 ], comparing both contexts, pointed out differences in the Affective dimension, reporting greater intensity in the context of sexual relationships. Additionally, this result also ratifies the findings of the few dyadic studies that have addressed SOE [ 9 , 64 ], in which the Affective dimension is so strongly loaded that it seems to mask the others. Moreover, in these studies, the Affective dimension is the only one associated, both in its actor and partner effect, with sexual satisfaction in male couples [ 9 ], as well as the only one to show a negative association between both contexts [ 64 ], meaning that, in same-sex male and female couples, a high intensity of SOE in its Affective dimension in the context of masturbation is associated with lower levels of global SOE in sexual relationships.…”

“…To date, very few studies have qualitatively addressed aspects related to the orgasmic experience [ 30 ], and we have no precedents from the perspective of a consolidated theoretical model such as the one proposed based on the ORS, specifically its validation in the Spanish population [ 15 , 29 ]. The MMSOE is a theoretical reference in the study of orgasm, having evidence of validity due to the correlation of its dimensions with different measures of sexual excitation [ 27 , 28 ], also showing clinical applicability given the associations between SOE and sexual satisfaction [ 6 , 9 ]. For this study, the tetra-dimensional orgasm conceptualization proposed by the MMSOE based on the ORS was used as a theoretical framework.…”

“…Traditionally, the study of orgasm has focused on the evaluation of its presence/absence and/or difficulty in obtaining it [ 3 , 4 , 5 ]. In recent years, there has been an interest in approaching orgasm from the assessment of its subjective experience [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ], referring to its perception and evaluation at a psychological level.…”

“…The relevance of SOE lies in its association with variables related to sexual health, such as sexual satisfaction [ 6 , 9 ], relationship satisfaction [ 9 ], or erotophilia, sexual desire, arousal, and sexual functioning [ 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 ]. Mah and Binik [ 8 ] studied SOE in the contexts of sexual relationships and solitary masturbation and found differential manifestations.…”

“…The MMSOE constitutes a theoretical reference in the study of orgasm, allowing its dimensions to account for the individuality of the orgasmic experience. This model has clinical applicability in the promotion of sexual health, given the associations between its dimensions and sexual satisfaction [ 6 , 9 ].…”

The subjective orgasm experience (SOE) refers to its perception and/or assessment from a psychological viewpoint. Few works have approached this construct from a qualitative perspective and have never taken a consolidated theoretical model as a reference. This study aims to provide qualitative validity evidence to the Multidimensional Model of Subjective Orgasmic Experience, derived from the Orgasm Rating Scale (ORS), to qualitatively address SOE in the contexts of sexual relationships and solitary masturbation, analyzing the terms self-generated by individuals and examining the coincidence with the semantic descriptions of orgasm proposed by the ORS. Four hundred Spanish adults aged 18 to 64 years participated. The Technique of Free Association of Words was applied, and prototypical, frequency, and similitude analyses were performed. A similar description was observed concerning the terms generated in both contexts, with a higher frequency and intensity in the context of sexual relationships. In the context of solitary masturbation, negative orgasmic descriptions were evoked. Participants were able to elicit the vast majority of ORS adjectives, with Affective being the most notable dimension, followed closely by Rewards, especially in masturbation. Most of the adjectives were evoked simultaneously with those of the Affective, with “pleasurable” standing out as the most predominant one. This work provides qualitative evidence to the SOE study, ratifying the semantic composition of the ORS and thus endorsing the Multidimensional Model of Subjective Orgasmic Experience as a good theoretical model from which to continue studying the subjective orgasmic experience.

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.
