High hierarchical status is associated with increased reproduction success in mammals. However the subordinate males are not totally eliminated from reproduction due to mate choice and alternative male strategies. Thus; the sexual arousal by higher-ranking or lower-ranking partner in humans may represent a proximate mechanism for realizing a reproductive strategy.
To evaluate possible connection between mating strategy and sexual arousal by lower-ranking and higher-ranking partner.
Markers of possible reproductive success (the number and gender of relatives and self-reported attractiveness) were evaluated by questionnaire-based study on students (110 men and 195 women, aged 19 to 29, mean age 22.5 +/- 2.10SD).
The correlation between markers of reproductive success and the sexual arousal by lower- and higher-ranking partner.
Arousal by lower-ranking partner correlated positively with proportion of males in relatives (Spearman's r, males: 0.219*; females: 0.161*) and with self-reported attractiveness (males: r = 0.223*); arousal by higher-ranking partner correlated positively with self-attractiveness (females: r = 0.191*).
We found markers of reproductive success despite of reduced number of offspring in nowadays population.
The sexual arousal by lower- and/or higher-ranking partner appears to be a manifestation of a successful reproductive strategy, e.g. behavior connected to natural human behavior. Moreover, the sexual arousal by overemphasized hierarchy (e.g. dominant-slave play) considered to be a part of sadomasochistic sex (or so called BDSM) may represent an over emphasised manifestation of this reproductive strategy. *P < 0.05.
高等级地位与哺乳动物繁殖成功率的提高有关。然而，由于配偶选择和替代雄性策略，从属雄性并没有完全被排除在繁殖之外。因此，人类中来自上级或下级伴侣的性唤起可能代表了实现生殖策略的近因机制。
评估交配策略与来自下级和上级伴侣的性唤起之间可能存在的联系。
通过基于问卷的研究，对学生（110 名男性和 195 名女性，年龄 19 至 29 岁，平均年龄 22.5 +/- 2.10SD）评估了可能的生殖成功标志物（亲属的数量和性别以及自我报告的吸引力）。
生殖成功标志物与来自下级和上级伴侣的性唤起之间的相关性。
来自下级伴侣的唤起与亲属中男性的比例呈正相关（Spearman's r，男性：0.219*；女性：0.161*），并与自我报告的吸引力呈正相关（男性：r = 0.223*）；来自上级伴侣的唤起与自我吸引力呈正相关（女性：r = 0.191*）。
尽管现代人口中后代数量减少，但我们发现了生殖成功的标志物。
来自下级和/或上级伴侣的性唤起似乎是一种成功生殖策略的表现，例如与自然人类行为相关的行为。此外，强调等级制度的性唤起（例如支配-从属游戏）被认为是性虐待性行为（或所谓的 BDSM）的一部分，可能代表了这种生殖策略的过度表现。*P < 0.05。
