QuoteThe first group contained individuals who reported high frequencies of both shared intimacy and solo sex. The second group consisted of people who rarely engaged in shared intimacy but reported high rates of solo sex. The final group featured people with active partnered intimacy but low rates of solo activity.
Participants in the first category fit smoothly into the complementary model of sexuality. These individuals scored low on negative attitudes toward masturbation. Both men and women in this group reported that sheer physical pleasure motivated their solo habits.
The second group displayed habits that aligned closely with the compensatory model. For these participants, high rates of solo sex were directly tied to relationship deficits.
The third profile broke away from both trends by featuring high shared intimacy and very low solo activity. These individuals reported the lowest levels of solitary sexual desire. Without an internal motivation to stimulate themselves, their sexual needs appear to be entirely fulfilled through shared activities with their partners.
