* Women were quicker to orgasm with more masculine men (β=.36) when it concerned women reaching orgasm before their partners)
* Women were quicker to orgasm with more masculine men (?=.36) when it concerned women reaching orgasm before their partners)
* Women were much more likely to orgasm (β=.50) during or after the man if he was more attractive and reported himself as dominant (β=.24)
* Women were much more likely to orgasm (?=.50) during or after the man if he was more attractive and reported himself as dominant (?=.24)
* "Interestingly, this component of female orgasm (achieving orgasm after or during the male partners orgasm") was negatively predicted by male self-rated dominance and masculinity. Because more objective measures of male dominance, masculinity and attractiveness either weakly or negatively loaded onto the self-rated dominance/masculinity component, we suspect that self-rated dominance/masculinity measured something other than genetic quality"

A study was conducted by Valentine et al. (2014) utilizing a speed dating format, which consisted of young male and female subjects (n=159;78 young men and 81 young women) who weren't compensated in any way for their participation, and thus were participating in the study because they were "(looking for the) chance to find a real-life partner, suggesting the choices were primarily motivated by actual mating interests."

* The oft-lamented dearth of female CEOs and the corporate pay gap may be partially due to this factor, the authors stated "If voice pitch was the sole determinant of firm size for a female CEO, our estimate.. would imply that the size of the firm run by a female CEO with a voice pitch of 210 Hz would be about $1.5 billion. For the female CEOs listed in the S&P 1500 stock index during our sample period, the median firm size is strikingly similar at roughly $1.7 billion in assets."
