To test Kaplan's model of hypoactive sexual desire, this investigation examined the effects of anger and anxiety presented during sexual stimuli. Subjects included 24 male undergraduates, free from psychological and medical problems that interfere with sexual function. Each subject was presented with three audiotapes, containing sexual content and statements by the participants that were designed to evoke anger or anxiety or that were situationally appropriate (control condition). Penile tumescence and sexual desire were monitored continuously. Results indicated significant differences in sexual desire in each of the three conditions, with desire highest during the control condition, followed by the anxiety condition, and last, the anger condition. Tumescence was decreased during the anger condition, relative to the control and anxiety conditions, which were not significantly different from one another. These findings partially support Kaplan's model of maintaining factors in hypoactive sexual desire, by demonstrating that anger may be the primary mechanism through which sexual desire and arousal are inhibited. In this study, anxiety impaired desire but did not affect tumescence. Implications for the study of emotional influences on sexual responding are discussed, including the need for investigation of other parameters of sexual motivation.
为了检验卡普兰的性欲减退模型，本研究考察了在性刺激过程中呈现愤怒和焦虑情绪的影响。研究对象包括24名男性本科生，他们没有会干扰性功能的心理和医学问题。给每位研究对象播放三盘录音带，内容包含性相关内容以及旨在引发愤怒或焦虑情绪或情境适宜的（对照条件）参与者陈述。持续监测阴茎勃起和性欲情况。结果表明，三种条件下的性欲存在显著差异，对照条件下性欲最高，其次是焦虑条件，最后是愤怒条件。与对照和焦虑条件相比，愤怒条件下阴茎勃起程度降低，而对照和焦虑条件之间没有显著差异。这些发现部分支持了卡普兰关于性欲减退维持因素的模型，表明愤怒可能是抑制性欲和性唤起的主要机制。在本研究中，焦虑损害了性欲，但未影响阴茎勃起。讨论了情绪对性反应影响研究的意义，包括对性动机其他参数进行研究的必要性。
