Abstract Previous research has found that sexual desire ebbs and flows over time within and across relationships, leading to instances of desire discrepancy. The purpose of the present study was to understand factors that may contribute to desire and desire discrepancy and examine differences and similarities across women from diverse sexual identity groups. The present qualitative study involved semi-structured interviews with 31 women (10 bisexual, 8 lesbian, and 13 straight). We identified six main themes (changes across lifespan, hormonal influences, mental and physical health, objective of desire, partner dynamics, external factors) with 21 subthemes. The findings showed more similarities between the women than differences.

欲望的潮起潮落：对影响双性恋，女同性恋和异性恋女性性欲的情境因素的定性探索

摘要先前的研究发现，性欲随时间流逝在关系内部和相互之间流动，导致性欲差异的发生。本研究的目的是了解可能导致欲望和欲望差异的因素，并研究来自不同性别认同群体的女性之间的差异和相似之处。当前的定性研究涉及对31名女性（10名双性恋，8名女同性恋和13名异性恋）的半结构化访谈。我们确定了六个主要主题（寿命变化，荷尔蒙影响，心理和身体健康，性欲目标，伴侣动态，外部因素）和21个子主题。研究结果表明，女性之间的相似之处多于差异。
