We investigated the effects of elated and depressed affect on sexual arousal in 15 sexually functional males. Subjects received elation and depression mood inductions in a repeated-measures design. Immediately following each induction, subjects viewed a brief erotic film during which penile tumescence and subjective sexual arousal were recorded continuously. Following depression induction there was a trend toward diminished subjective sexual arousal in the early portion of erotic exposure, and achievement of maximum subjective arousal was delayed; however, penile tumescence was unaffected. Multiple regression analysis indicated that tumescence during erotica was predictive of posterotica affect, independent of pre-erotica effect. The findings of delayed subjective arousal with no diminution in tumescence, although contrary to predictions, are consistent with previous research with sexually dysfunctional men. The study provides partial support for the role of depressed affect in the etiology of erectile dysfunction.
我们研究了情绪高涨和低落对15名性功能正常男性性唤起的影响。采用重复测量设计，让受试者接受情绪高涨和低落的诱导。每次诱导后，受试者立即观看一段简短的色情影片，在此期间持续记录阴茎勃起和主观性唤起情况。情绪低落诱导后，在色情暴露的早期阶段，主观性唤起有减少的趋势，且达到最大主观性唤起的时间延迟；然而，阴茎勃起未受影响。多元回归分析表明，色情影片播放期间的勃起可预测影片播放后的情绪，独立于影片播放前的影响。尽管与预测相反，但主观性唤起延迟且勃起未减少的研究结果与先前对性功能障碍男性的研究一致。该研究为情绪低落对勃起功能障碍病因的作用提供了部分支持。
