The present study investigated young adults' self‐reported communication during sexual activity and its link to sexual and relational outcomes. The associations between two forms of communication during sexual activity (i.e., positive relational disclosures and erotic talk) and orgasm and relationship satisfaction were explored. Additionally, the study tested whether orgasm mediated the association between communication during sexual activity and relationship satisfaction. Three‐hundred and nineteen young adults (237 women, 82 men) ranging in age from 18–32 years (M = 19) completed a survey within 2 hours of a recent sexual episode addressing their communication during sexual activity. Results revealed that positive relational disclosures, but not erotic talk, predicted the likelihood of orgasm, controlling for participants' biological sex. More specifically, individuals who disclosed more positive feelings during sexual activity were more likely to orgasm. Additionally, the more individuals disclosed positive thoughts and feelings for their partners during sexual activity or the more they engaged in mutualistic erotic talk that included intimacy and bonding, the higher their reported relationship satisfaction after sexual activity. The implications of these findings for research on sexual satisfaction, relational health, and the post sex disclosures model are discussed.

床单之间：调查年轻人在性活动中的交流

本研究调查了年轻人在性活动过程中自我报告的交流及其与性和相关结果的联系。探讨了性活动期间两种交流方式（即积极的关系披露和色情谈话）与性高潮和关系满意度之间的关联。此外，该研究测试了性高潮期间性高潮是否能介导沟通与关系满意度之间的关联。三一九青少年（237名女性，82名男性）范围从18-32岁（中号= 19）在最近发生性行为后2小时内完成了一项调查，以解决他们在性活动中的交流问题。结果显示，积极的关系披露，而不是色情谈话，预测了性高潮的可能性，控制了参与者的生物性别。更具体地说，在性活动中表现出更多积极情绪的人更容易达到性高潮。此外，在性活动期间，对伴侣表现出积极思想和感情的人越多，或者他们越多地参与包括亲密关系和亲密关系在内的相互色情的谈话，则他们在性活动后的关系满意度就越高。讨论了这些发现对性满意度，关系健康和性后信息披露模型研究的意义。
