Sexual arousal in women: a comparison of cognitive and physiological responses by continuous measurement

J P Wincze et al. Arch Sex Behav. 1977 Mar.

Abstract

Six sexually normal women were exposed to a wide variety of erotic video tapes while vaginal, groin, and breast vasocongestion measures were tkane. The women indicated their level of sexual arousal while viewing the tapes by positioning a lever device along a calibrated scale. The results indicated highly significant positive correlations among the cognitive and physiological measures for five out of six individual subjects, although the pooled group data failed to show significance. The methodology described in this research shows promise as a diagnostic and research tool.
