What is it about?
Subjective orgasm experience refers to the evaluation of the sensations caused by an orgasm from a psychological point of view. This study analyzed subjective orgasm experience in the context of solo masturbation according to sex and age, and they compared it with said perceived experience in the context of sexual relationships. In order to do so, they evaluated orgasmic intensity experienced by 874 heterosexual adults in the context of sexual relationships and solo masturbation. The results showed that sex and age affect subjective orgasmic experience in the context of masturbation, being women and young people the ones to report higher intensity. On the other hand, differences were found in subjective orgasm experience between solo masturbation context and sexual relationships context, being this last one the most intense.
