マスターズとジョンソン(英語版)は、著書『Human Sexual Response』の中で、直接観察と医学的検査に基づいた性的反応と満足度に関するさまざまな知見を発表している。性的満足は性交の持続時間とは無関係である[3]。男性の反応時間は女性の月経周期によって変化し、排卵日に近いほど膣内射精潜時は短くなる[4]。パートナー双方の性経験も膣内射精潜時に影響する[5]。
^“Early and Delayed Ejaculation: Psychological Considerations”. Boston University School of Medicine. 31 January 2022閲覧。 “With masturbation, the adolescent or young man learns various techniques that allow him to maintain a high level of arousal without ejaculating. As the young man becomes sexually active with a partner, these skills can then be transferred to his new sexual encounters. As the man becomes more sexually experienced, latency of ejaculation increases although not always to the satisfaction of the man and his partner.”
