abstract = {The tridimensional sexual desire proposal (i.e., dyadic to partner, dyadic to attractive other
and solitary) has been empirically supported. However, solitary sexual desire and its relationship
to other dimensions of sexual functioning has received less attention. Hence, we examined the
capacity of solitary sexual desire to explain the subjective orgasm experience (Study 1) and sexual
arousal (Study 2) in the context of solitary masturbation. Study 1, composed of 2406 heterosexual
adults (M age = 39.72, SD = 11.81), assessed for solitary sexual desire, dyadic sexual desire, and the
intensity of the subjective orgasm experience obtained through solitary masturbation, along with
other associated parameters. Study 2, consisting of 41 heterosexual young people (M age = 22.49,
SD = 3.17), evaluated the genital response (penile circumference/vaginal pulse amplitude) and
subjective arousal to sexually explicit films related to solitary masturbation. In both men and women,
solitary sexual desire accounted for a significant percentage of the subjective orgasm experience
obtained through solitary masturbation. In addition, in women, the propensity for sexual arousal was
explained by solitary sexual desire. It is concluded that solitary sexual desire -as opposed to dyadicis
important to explain sexual arousal and orgasm in the solitary masturbation context. These results
highlight the importance of addressing sexual desire in the solitary context, given its implications
with other dimensions of sexual functioning.},
