Not all identify by 'gender' in the title and this leads to results being ordered in suboptimal ways. You might try searching specific journals, date and subject (if you have access to something like JSTOR, psychinfo or whatever to do such a search).

I did google scholar at first, then search sexual archives on the springer website for most (better results the latter way). I gave up because I have a headache and don't care enough.

Wow, thanks! I'll definitely have to go through the results of these. I was looking specifically for US/Canada results, because I didn't want to compare cultural apples and oranges, but these look (At first glance) pretty dead on.

generally I google for:

sex OR gender differences plus the keyword of the day (e.g masturbation)
