Journal Article
Current Research on Sexual Response and Sexual Functioning Among Lesbian Women
2015
Overview
The majority of research on women’s sexual response has been conducted with heterosexual women, with limited investigation into the experiences of women in same-sex relationships. This review examines the literature published over the past 5 years (2010–2015) that has focused on aspects of sexual response and functioning among lesbian women. Lesbian women’s experiences reflect a fluid pattern of sexual response that expands beyond emotional closeness as the primary motivation for sexual contact. Recent research demonstrates the following: (a) women in same-sex relationships report a variety of motivations for sexual activity, (b) desire is often conflated with sexual frequency, (c) lesbian women report higher rates of orgasm, (d) sexual orientation influences variations in sexual arousal, and (e) sexual orientation does not appear to significantly impact sexual problems. Future research should address the current gaps in sexuality research among lesbian women, most notably related to sexual desire/arousal and orgasm.
