Abstract
A large body of research has investigated relationship and sexual satisfaction; however, little extant research has investigated interest in partner orgasm. The purpose of this study was to investigate sex differences in interest in partner orgasm, as well as the relationship between adult attachment and interest in partner orgasm among college men (n=262) and women (n=745) who are in committed romantic relationships. Women indicated having greater motivation to ensure their partner has an orgasm, but men and women did not vary in their reaction to a partner having or not having an orgasm. Attachment anxiety was associated with greater interest in partner orgasm, and attachment avoidance was associated with lower interest in partner orgasm. Overall, the results are consistent with evolutionary and attachment theory.
