Evidence to Suggest that Copulatory Vocalizations in Women Are Not a Reflexive Consequence of Orgasm

Abstract

The current studies were conducted in order to investigate the phenomenon of copulatory vocalizations and their relationship to orgasm in women. Data were collected from 71 sexually active heterosexual women (M age = 21.68 + .52) recruited from the local community through opportunity sampling. The studies revealed that orgasm was most frequently reported by women following self-manipulation of the clitoris, manipulation by the partner, oral sex delivered to the woman by a man, and least frequently during vaginal penetration. More detailed examination of responses during intercourse revealed that, while female orgasms were most commonly experienced during foreplay, copulatory vocalizations were reported to be made most often before and simultaneously with male ejaculation. These data together clearly demonstrate a dissociation of the timing of women experiencing orgasm and making copulatory vocalizations and indicate that there is at least an element of these responses that are under conscious control, providing women with an opportunity to manipulate male behavior to their advantage.

A beautiful noise

“…This is in agreement with the study of Brewer and Hendrie [12], who indicated that most CV in women do not accompany their own orgasm, but rather their partner's ejaculation.

Hominid sexual nature

“…According to the authors, the copulatory vocalizations can thus be one of the potential strategies used by the female to advertise receptivity to the high-ranking males, to confuse fatherhood and to provide future support from these socially important individuals. In the case of women, it was also recognized that at least one element of these responses was under conscious control, providing them with an opportunity to manipulate the male behavior, e.g., to accelerate partner's orgasm, when a woman was already weary (Brewer and Hendrie 2011).…”

Imitation of orgasm

“…он сообщил, что вокализации использовались для ускорения наступления эякуляции у партнера. В статье, посвященной данной проблеме [36], указанные авторы сообщают, что проведенные ими исследования свидетельствовали о более частом возникновении оргазма у женщин при само-стимуляции клитора, манипуляции со стороны партнера, кунилингусе и гораздо более редком его возникновении при влагалищном проникновении.…”
