目的：探讨三个关键发展资产与性健康的一个方面（性享受）之间的关联，尽管在最近的所有性健康政策声明中都强调了性健康的重要性，但很少在年轻人中研究性享受。方法：使用国家青少年健康纵向研究第三波（2001-2002）的数据以及多元逻辑和有序逻辑回归，我们探讨了 3,237 名老年受访者的性快感与自主性、自尊和同理心之间的关系18-26 岁异性恋关系持续时间 >= 3 个月。我们还研究了性快感在不同社会人口群体中的分布情况。结果：与年轻女性相比，年轻男性报告称更经常性高潮，并且更享受两种伴侣性行为。性享受与年龄、种族/民族或社会经济地位无关。在女性中，自主性、自尊和同理心与所有三项性享受指标呈正相关。在男性中，所有关联的方向相同，但并非所有关联都具有统计显着性。结论：美国新兴成年人在享受伴侣性行为方面存在显着的性别差异。这项研究首次使用代表性人群样本来寻找发育资产与性健康的积极方面（性快感）之间的关系。 (C) 2011 年青少年健康与医学协会。版权所有。
Purpose: To examine the associations between three key developmental assets and an aspect of sexual health, sexual enjoyment, which has rarely been studied in young adults, although its importance is stressed in all recent sexual health policy statements.Methods: Using data from wave III (2001-2002) of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, and multiple logistic and ordered logistic regression, we explored the associations between sexual pleasure and autonomy, self-esteem, and empathy among 3,237 respondents aged 18-26 years in heterosexual relationships of >= 3-month duration. We also examined the distribution of sexual pleasure across various socio-demographic groups.Results: Compared with young women, young men reported more regular orgasms and more enjoyment of two kinds of partnered sexual behavior. Sexual enjoyment was not associated with age, race/ethnicity, or socioeconomic status. Among women, autonomy, self-esteem, and empathy co-varied positively with all three sexual enjoyment measures. Among men, all associations were in the same direction, but not all were statistically significant.Conclusion: A substantial gender difference in enjoyment of partnered sexual behavior exists among emerging adults in the United States. This study is the first to use a representative population sample to find a relationship between developmental assets and a positive aspect of sexual health - sexual pleasure.
