Qualitative data were first collected through five male and five female focus group discussions. Next, to assess the prevalence and patterns of coital orgasm-related themes emerging from the focus group discussions, quantitative data were collected ..... through the creation and completion of a questionnaire by 89 male and 189 female undergraduates.. Although men and women share relatively similar concerns regarding lack of own and partner coital orgasm, they have.different priorities regarding coital . orgasm occurrence and do not fully, appreciate one another’s experiences and concerns.: Findings suggest foci for sexual education and therapy that relate to gender differences in Coitalexperiencesandperceptions.
