Abstract
In a study designed to investigate the role of conditioning starting before age 18 on adult sexual behavior and urges, retrospective data were provided by 911 women using an anonymous computerized survey. Using objects inserted into their vaginas or urethras during masturbation before age 18 increased by 7.2 fold and 3.1 fold, respectively, the likelihood that they would use objects similarly after age 18. Using an inserted object during masturbation also increased the likelihood of experiencing urges to use objects in relation to the individual's own genitals and/or anus. And, using an inserted object during masturbation increased the likelihood of experiencing urges to use objects in relation to the partner's genitals and/or anus.
Notes
1The earliest age is the earliest age over the participant's entire life span.
2The latest age is the latest age in either the before age 18 (max = 17) or the after age 18 interval (max = attained age), respectively.
3The n indicates the subset of the participants who engaged in the behavior. The data on number of times, earliest age and latest age is from the subset who participated in the behavior.
1The n indicates the subset of the 911 female participants who engaged in the behavior. The data on number of times, earliest age and latest age is from the subset who participated in the behavior.
1The wording for urge item 1 restricts the urge to insertion only for own genitals.
