根据最近对18-60岁美国成年人的大规模概率抽样，（7648名男性和8090名女性），我们探讨了性频率和手淫之间的联系，评估了手淫是否补偿了不可用的性行为的证据，补充了（或增强）现有的配对性活动，我们发现证据支持男性手淫和性频率之间存在补偿关系，女性手淫和性频率之间存在互补关系，但每一种关联都是适度的，而且取决于参与者对自己报告的性生活频率的满意程度。在男性和女性中，伴侣地位和他们的性满足感比最近的性生活频率更明显地预测手淫。我们的结论是，这两种假设作为共同评估遭受未能占主观性满意度在预测手淫的关键作用。
Drawing upon a large, recent probability sample of American adults ages 18-60 (7648 men and 8090 women), we explored the association between sexual frequency and masturbation, evaluating the evidence for whether masturbation compensates for unavailable sex, complements (or augments) existing paired sexual activity, or bears little association with it. We found evidence supporting a compensatory relationship between masturbation and sexual frequency for men, and a complementary one among women, but each association was both modest and contingent on how content participants were with their self-reported frequency of sex. Among men and women, both partnered status and their sexual contentment were more obvious predictors of masturbation than was recent frequency of sex. We conclude that both hypotheses as commonly evaluated suffer from failing to account for the pivotal role of subjective sexual contentment in predicting masturbation.
