A two-dimensional model of female sexual response.

On the basis of a review of previous research on orgasm consistency and sexual satisfaction in heterosexual females, a two-dimensional conceptual model of sexual responsivity is proposed as a foundation for future research and theory. Methodological problems as well as conceptual inadequacies of past research are discussed. Research evidence strongly indicates that the variable of sexual satisfaction is a long overlooked but critical concept in the full understanding of female heterosexual behavior.
