Sexual Satisfaction and Sexual Health Among University Students in the United States
Despite the World Health Organization's definition of sexual health as a state of well-being, virtually no public health research has examined sexual well-being outcomes, including sexual satisfaction. Emerging evidence suggests that sexual well-being indicators are associated with more classic measures of healthy sexual behaviors. We surveyed 2168 university students in the United States and asked them to rate their physiological and psychologic…

Virginity Lost, Satisfaction Gained? Physiological and Psychological Sexual Satisfaction at Heterosexual Debut
Despite the literature's focus on (hetero)sexual initiation, little is known about the degree to which young people are satisfied by their first vaginal intercourse experience, let alone the factors that predict satisfaction. This study analyzed data from a cross-sectional survey of 1,986 non-Hispanic White and Black 18- to 25-year-old respondents from four university campuses. Respondents were asked to rate the degree to which their first vagina…
Premarital Sexual Attitudes and Behavior at a Religiously-Affiliated University
College Women and Personal Goals
Religiosity and Sexual Responsibility
Religiosity appears related to sexual attitudes and behavior of college women, but not physiological or psychological sexual satisfaction
A Profile of Adoption Placers
Since adoption can solve both personal and societal problems, it is important to identify salient variables related to the perceptions of pregnant adolescents while in the process of deciding to keep or place their baby. An anonymous questionnaire administered at a residential facility for pregnant, unmarried persons in a Southwestern metropolitan area was the basis for this investigation of 178 teens who placed their baby for adoption. A number …
Speaking of Sexuality
Sexuality, Sociologists, and the 'Great Research Divide
Exploring the reasons why sociologists today continue to wander in the land of lost research opportunities in the area of sexuality, three rationales are suggested. First, applied research, in general, continues to be viewed with a jaundiced eye by many sociologists. Second, some sociologists fail to appreciate the contribution that applied sexuality research can make in ameliorating sexual concerns and increasing personal sexual awareness. Third…
Age at First Contraceptive Information and Risk Taking Among College Women
The main objective of this study was to explore corollaries of age at first reception of contraceptive information and sexual behavior among college women at a Midwestern university in the US. 774 never-married women were given questionnaires that covered topics concerning the source and age upon reception of first contraceptive information in association with such factors as risk-related sexual behaviors and family background. Literature on the …
Religiosity and the sexuality of women
Although our societal attitudes about sexuality continue to be dominated by the religious view that sexual desires are to be restrained and sexual pleasures to be avoided, the degree to which religiosity actually influences the sexuality of women remains a matter of conjecture. The purpose of this investigation was to ascertain the relationship, if any, between religiosity and the sexual behaviors and sexual satisfaction of women. An anonymous qu…
Multiple sex partners among college women and men
The purpose of this investigation was to examine the effects of number of lifetime sex partners on sexual behaviors, sexual attitudes, and sexual satisfaction for never‐married college women and men. An anonymous questionnaire was administered in select classes at a midwestern state university. One‐partner group (one sex partner) women, in comparison to few‐partner (two to five sex partners) and many‐partner (six or more sex partners) group women…
Premarital Sexual Intercourse and Axiomatic Theory Construction
Axiomatic theory construction was used in this study to analyze the likelihood of participation in premarital sexual intercourse by college women. The sample consisted of 754 never-married female students enrolled in a midwestern, residential university who responded to a sexual attitudes and behavior survey. Forty-eight empirical propositions concerning premarital sexual intercourse were tested, nineteen of which were found to be statistically s…
Shaping Women's Sexuality
A survey research design was utilized to examine the influence of mother-daughter and father-daughter attachments during adolescence on the intimate relationships, sexual activities, and sexual satisfaction of adult women who were health-care related professionals. The findings indicated that there were significant differences regarding mother figure-daughter and father figure-daughter attachment for perceived marital quality and sexual activitie…

Female ejaculation
The stereotype of single women revisited
Single college‐educated females have received very little attention from researchers who are concerned with chronicling the apparent changes in sexual behavior occurring in American society. A widely held impression suggests that the so‐called sexual revolution has led to a new sexual morality characterized by an increased emphasis on sexual enjoyment and sexual satisfaction among never‐married and divorced/separated females. Thus, the purposes o…
The sexually experienced woman
It has been suggested that women who have had more than one sex partner differ from those who have had only one, both in their background and in their current functioning (in the forms of attitudes, partner interaction, sexual satisfaction, desired changes in their sex life, and other behaviors). To explore these issues, we distributed a questionnaire to a sample of 868 nurses located in 15 states. For most variables, there were no significant di…
Guilt
As individuals begin to engage in sexual activities, they must contend with the interaction of their current behaviors with any prior learning related to sexual guilt. While guilt feelings associated with participation in masturbation, petting, and sexual intercourse have decreased in recent years, especially among females, few studies have considered the role of guilt in sexual satisfaction among adolescent/young adults. In order to examine the …
The relationship of sexual satisfaction to coital involvement
Through time sex has come to have increasing societal importance, but very few investigators have sought to determine if the participants have gained any degree of pleasure from their sexual involvements. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the perceived psychological and physiological sexual satisfaction of coitally active and coitally inactive females as it relates to their past sexual behaviors, current sexual concerns, and the…
Sexual fantasies and sexual satisfaction
This empirical investigation explored the meaning and/or function of sexual fantasizing for married women and whether any differences exist between married women who are: satisfied, neither satisfied nor dissatisfied, or dissatisfied with their current sex life. From a structural‐functionalism perspective, a questionnaire was developed and pretested for this exploratory study of sexual fantasies. The questionnaire was subsequently administered to…
The impact of college-level sex education on sexual knowledge, attitudes, and practices
In recent years, many persons have opposed sex education believing that such courses will lead to increased participation in sexual intercourse by young people, but their fears are not supported by most previous research. The influence of sex education material integrated into functional marriage and family courses, however, has not been the subject of in‐depth, scientific investigations. An anonymous questionnaire was administered to never‐marri…
Sexual fantasies among married males
The purposes of this empirical study were to determine the relationship, if any, between sexual fantasies and sexual satisfaction as well as the functions of sexual fantasies for married males. From a structural‐functionalism perspective, a questionnaire was developed and pretested for this exploratory study of sexual fantasies. An anonymous questionnaire was administered to 840 undergraduate and graduate student volunteers at a midwestern commut…

The mystique of first intercourse among college youth
Premarital Sexual Intercourse
This study utilized an axiomatic approach to develop a middle-range theory of premarital sexual intercourse. A review of relevant empirical research resulted in a propositional inventory which was used in developing 22 testable propositions about premarital sexual intercourse among females. Using an unanalyzed data base of 336 never-married coeds in a southern state college and in a southern medical complex, 15 propositions were either statistica…
Autoeroticism, sexual satisfaction, and sexual adjustment among university females
A review of the research literature reveals a general paucity of rigorous scientific analyses of masturbatory behavior in adult females. The availability of a data base from a pilot study concerned with self‐perceptions of the orgasmic response during masturbation and sexual intercourse has provided the opportunity to investigate the role of masturbation in the sexual repertoire of university female students. This data base also permitted an asse…
