Background/objective: The Multidimensional Model of the Subjective Orgasm Experience (MMSOE) has been
validated in the context of heterosexual relationships, with no evidence in the context of same-sex relationships.
This study aims to examine the association of its dimensions (Affective, Intimacy, Sensory, and Rewards) with the
propensity for sexual excitation, rating of sexual arousal, rating of genital sensations, and genital response.
Method: Sixty-eight young adults (34 males and 34 females) who were sexually active with people of the same sex
participated in a laboratory task in which they viewed content-neutral and sexually explicit gay films. Regression
models were conducted to explain the dimensions of MMSOE from measures of sexual arousal.
Results: In males, the rating of sexual arousal explained the Sensory dimension, while the genital response
explained the Affective dimension, with sexual arousal as a state gaining more prominence. In females, however,
the propensity for sexual excitation explained the Sensory dimension, with more salience of sexual arousal as a
trait.
Conclusions: The MMSOE is shown to be a valid theoretical framework for the study of orgasmic experience in the
context of same-sex relationships, with clear implications for clinical practice.
