这项研究的目的是验证一种假设，即女性在排卵期表现出性活动的高峰，这可以从动物的发情效应中预测出来。使用口服避孕药以外的避孕器具的已婚妇女在排卵期的性行为显著增加。这一峰值在所有女性发起的行为中都具有统计学意义，包括自体性行为和女性发起的异性恋行为，但在男性发起的行为中不存在，除非在某些情况下使用避孕药。以前找不到排卵高峰可能是由于使用了主要由男性伴侣发起的性行为测量方法。使用口服避孕药的妇女在月经周期的相应时间内没有表现出女性发起的性活动的增加，这可能是由于口服避孕药抑制了排卵增加的激素分泌。
This study was desgined to test the hypothesis that women exhibit peaks of sexual activity at ovulation, as would be predicted from estrous effects in animals. Married women who used contraceptive devices other than oral contraceptives experienced a significant increase in their sexual behavior at the time of ovulation. This peak was statistically significant for all female-initated behavior, including both autosexual and female-initiated heterosexual behavior, but was not present for male-initiated behavior except under certain conditions of contraceptive use. Previous failures to find an ovulatory peak may be due to use of measures of sexual behavior that are primarily determined by initiation of the male partner. Women using oral contraceptive did not show a rise in female-initiated sexual activity at the corresponding time in their menstrual cycles, probably owing to the suppression of ovulatory increases in hormone secretion by the oral contraceptives.
