TY - JOUR PY - 2022// TI - Sexual repertoire, duration of partnered sex, sexual pleasure, and orgasm: findings from a US nationally representative survey of adults JO - Journal of sex and marital therapy A1 - Herbenick, Debby A1 - Fu, Tsung-Chieh A1 - Patterson, Callie SP - ePub EP - ePub VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - In a confidential U.S. nationally representative survey of 2,525 adults (1300 women, 1225 men), we examined participants' event-level sexual behaviors, predictors of pleasure and orgasm, and perceived actual and ideal duration of sex, by gender and age. Event-level kissing, cuddling, vaginal intercourse, and oral sex were prevalent. Sexual choking was more prevalent among adults under 40. While women and men reported a similar actual duration of sex, men reported a longer ideal duration. Participants with same-sex partners reported a longer ideal duration than those with other-sex partners. Finally, findings show that gendered sexual inequities related to pleasure and orgasm persist.
