We examined the possible range of content of non-erotic thoughts experienced during typical sexual activities with a partner. Undergraduate men (n = 47) and women (n = 50) were administered a measure of non-erotic thought content, frequency, and anxiety, along with measures of sexual attitude, satisfaction, and functioning. Men were more likely to report performance-related thoughts, and women were more likely to report thoughts about body image. However, men and women were equally likely to report thoughts about the external consequences of the activity (e.g., pregnancy, being caught) and the emotional consequences of the activity (e.g., morality, implications of the activity for the relationship). Women reported that their thoughts occurred more frequently and caused more anxiety. Greater thought frequency and greater anxiety over thoughts were associated with poorer sexual functioning for both men and women. For women, greater frequency of and anxiety evoked by thoughts was associated with lower sexual satisfaction. These data provide modest support for cognitive-behavioral models of sexual dysfunction and indicate the importance of both examining a broad range of non-erotic thought content and taking gender into account when applying these models to understanding and treating sexual difficulties.
我们研究了与伴侣进行典型性活动时所经历的非色情思想的可能内容范围。对47名本科男性和50名本科女性进行了非色情思想内容、频率和焦虑程度的测量，同时还测量了性态度、满意度和性功能。男性更倾向于报告与表现相关的想法，而女性更倾向于报告关于身体形象的想法。然而，男性和女性报告关于活动外部后果（如怀孕、被发现）和活动情感后果（如道德、活动对关系的影响）的想法的可能性是相同的。女性报告称她们的想法出现得更频繁，且引起的焦虑更多。对男性和女性而言，更高的思想频率以及对思想的更多焦虑都与较差的性功能相关。对女性来说，更高的思想频率以及由思想引发的焦虑与更低的性满意度相关。这些数据为性功能障碍的认知行为模型提供了一定支持，并表明在应用这些模型来理解和治疗性困难时，既考察广泛的非色情思想内容又考虑性别因素的重要性。
