Sexual desire variation traditionally has been treated as due to variance in affective response to sexual stimulation, but differences in attention to the stimuli may better account for differences in sexual desire.
Determine whether sexual desire varies due to attention biases towards sexual stimuli.
Sexual arousal was quantified by physiological (labia minus temperature) and experienced (continuously adjusting a potentiometer) indicators.
Twenty-two women who varied in their level of sexual desire attended one laboratory session during which they viewed a neutral nature film, a sexual film, and a sexual film with distractors while their labial temperature and self-reported sexual arousal were recorded.
Participants reported and displayed lower sexual arousal during the sexual stimulus with distractors as compared to the sexual film without distractors. While all women reported lower sexual arousal to the sexual film with distractors, women with relatively lower sexual desire also reported lower sexual arousal to the sexual film with no distractors than women with higher sexual desire. Physiologically, women with lower sexual desire exhibited lower labial temperature.
Since the predicted lower self-reported and physiological sexual arousal to the sexual stimulus with distractors for the women with lower sexual desire did not emerge, this study does not support that sexual desire levels vary due to differential attention to sexual stimuli.
传统上，性欲望的变化被认为是由于对性刺激的情感反应的差异，但对刺激的注意力差异可能更好地解释性欲望的差异。
确定性欲望是否因对性刺激的注意力偏见而变化。
性唤起通过生理（阴唇减去温度）和体验（连续调整电位计）指标来量化。
22 名性欲望水平不同的女性参加了一个实验室会议，期间她们观看了一部中性自然电影、一部色情电影和一部带有干扰物的色情电影，同时记录了她们的阴唇温度和自我报告的性唤起。
与没有干扰物的色情电影相比，参与者报告和表现出较低的性唤起在有干扰物的性刺激期间。虽然所有女性都报告说有干扰物的色情电影的性唤起较低，但性欲望相对较低的女性报告说，没有干扰物的色情电影的性唤起也比性欲望较高的女性低。在生理上，性欲望较低的女性阴唇温度较低。
由于预测的性欲望较低的女性对有干扰物的性刺激的自我报告和生理上的性唤起并没有出现，因此本研究不支持性欲望水平因对性刺激的注意力差异而变化的观点。
