where cisgender women are less likely to achieve ******* during partnered **** compared to cisgender men. This new study delves deeper, investigating how a partner’s gender shapes women’s expectations and ultimately, their pursuit of *******.

The study found in two samples that:

• Women reported significantly higher expectations for clitoral stimulation and ******* when expecting a female partner compared to a male partner. This suggests that women anticipate different ******* acts based on their partner’s gender.
• Partner gender had a significant indirect effect on women’s ******* pursuit. This means that partner gender influenced women’s likelihood of pursuing ******* through the mediating factors of clitoral stimulation and expectations for *******. In simpler terms, when women anticipated having **** with a female partner, they reported both higher expectations for clitoral stimulation and *******, which made them more likely to actively pursue ******* themselves.

Implications and next steps

These findings suggest that dominant ******* scripts, which vary based on partner gender, may contribute to the ******* gap by shaping women’s expectations and behaviors during ****.

Lead author Kate ********, a recent graduate of Rutgers University, emphasizes, “If women, or men partnered with women, want to increase their own or their partners’ *******, they should create an environment that encourages ******* pursuit through diverse **** acts, particularly those involving clitoral stimulation.”

Co-author Grace Wetzel, of Rutgers University, said, “This research contributes to understanding gender disparities and inequities. It also sheds light on why the ******* gap exists—specifically, how different expectations for **** with men and women can explain these differences.”

Beyond the ******* gap

Wetzel notes that the results could be interpreted to mean that **** with men is intrinsically worse than **** with women, but this is not necessarily the case.

“The problem is not inherent to men or to being *************, but to the dominant ******* scripts associated with ************* ****. ******* scripts are flexible and can be changed,” Wetzel explains.

******** concludes, “This study is just one piece of a larger conversation about gender disparities. ******* is just one aspect of ******* satisfaction, and this research should not be misinterpreted as suggesting that ******* is the sole measure of a fulfilling ******* experience.”
