Study finds link between female vocalization during sex and orgasm

A fascinating study just published in the Archives of Sexual Behaviour looked at the link between women’s vocalisations during sex and the timing of orgasm during heterosexual encounters, finding that there was little connection with female climax but a strong link with male ejaculation.

The researchers draw the ego-denting conclusion that women’s moans and sighs are not an involuntary reaction to male sexual prowess, but a way of exerting influence over their partner’s sexual response.


In the study, many of the women also explicitly reported what the researchers coyly labelled a ‘tactical use of copulatory vocalizations’ as a specific sexual strategy.

This manoeuvring of male behavior not only ensures the delivery of his ejaculate, but may also serve to end male copulatory effort under circumstances when the female is, for example, suffering discomfort or pain, boredom, fatigue, or simply does not have enough time for the encounter to last longer. Females appear to be fully conscious of the positive effects that their copulatory vocalizations have on male self-esteem and a very high percentage reported using them for this purpose.

Further advantages of the female being able to manipulate the presence/absence/timing of the male orgasm may include the reduction of her risk of incurring physical damage from roughness, abrasion, and ensuing infection. One of the effects of female copulatory vocalizations may be to promote male self-esteem, which may strengthen the pair bond, decreases the risk of emotional infidelity and abandonment, resulting in continued access to resources and protection.

These data were remarkably consistent with findings reported in non-human primates, where, for example, in Barbary macaques (Macaca sylvanus) the likelihood of male ejaculation is related to the intensity and speed of female vocalizations during copulation…

These data were consistent with the proposal that male ejaculation is influenced by female copulatory vocalizations rather than vice versa and points towards the evolutionary origin of human female vocalizations in the context in our polygynandrous “past” rather than our pseudo-monogamous present.

Thankfully the researchers ended the paper with that throwaway evolutionary explanation which gives me a good excuse the ignore the hard data and pretend it never happened.

Just in case you had any self-esteem left ...

Makes perfect sense tbh. Though I'm pretty sure at least some of the sound during orgasms is involuntary?

Meh, I think all girls are different. I've never had a chick that made the same O face or actions as another.

Doesn't surprise me. Genuine orgasmic moans sound far less sexy, like you're strangling a cow or something. Porn style moans mean 'please cum soon'.

This is definitely not exclusive to females. When my boyfriend moans like a motherfucker, things get crazy.
 
fascinating study ?

Seriously ? Of course you get more excited if the girl moans: it makes you feel in control, in makes you feel confident, it's exciting you more.

No physical nor vocal response: I would be in a total panic.
 
Just watch a BJ movie. The girl will start moaning and everything when really she's just sitting there, probably bored to death.

That always threw me off but I figured it was something along the lines of this. Seems like a waste of a study when they could have just given me some porn and asked me what I thought.

The idea is that it's the woman consciously making those noises so that you finish up, everybody already knew that it was crazy hot.

Makes sense. I moan during sex for the same reason. I'd just be completely silent if I thought it wouldn't make a difference.

That's a really good point actually. I just realised that I use moaning as a kinda 'I know this blowjob is dragging on a bit, but please carry on!'.

Man, I feel like a woman.
 
Honestly I always thought this was the case. I much prefer when the girl doesn't make all the fake moans, and instead you can just hear the changes in her breathing as things heat up; much more erotic that way.

Whenever I listen to female vocalists I involuntary ejaculate. Is this the same thing?

Why is this "ego denting"? You overestimate how much I care about her feelings in this.

Pretty much. The screams that sound like a they are from a 90s porno are a complete turn off.

Was going to make a comment about Japanese porn, but I was beaten ages ago.

Anyway, I don't think this is true all the time. I know with my ex, she would get loud as hell, but wouldn't want me to come until she got hers.

Doesn't know that "You" is used in both the singular and plural
Actually, the fake moaning has the opposite effect on me because I know it's fake. It makes me want to be over with it but then I'm not enjoying thereby, prolonging the act further. So she's faking it and I'm thinking about how she's faking it, no one is having an orgasm and we go on....

A fascinating new point of view. Just what I needed as an excuse to re-watch my entire pron folder.
 
I knew this along time ago. They're enjoying themselves the most when the sounds stop/change to less sexy and less self-aware sounds, facial expressions and postures. The involuntary bodily response differences between a man and woman having orgasms have been overblown. Both men and women look and sound like goofballs when they do it.

Absolutely. I never really thought about it but this is totally true.

Because it's meant as an excitement for your partner. Guys do it to.
That isn't what the study says. It's not about who does what...but WHY they do it. Ego stroking to manipulate the male into cumming is the intended purpose, according to the study.

How does that contradict what I said?

Never really thought about it but since you put it that way I totally do that. I'd rather be getting a mediocre bj than no bj at all. In fact if I could just be getting bjs at all hours of the day, I think my outlook on life in general would shift in a more positive trajectory.
