Despite the high prevalence of hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD), especially among women, this sexual disorder remains poorly understood. Among the multiple factors possibly involved in HSDD, particularities in the cognitive evaluations of social stimuli need to be better characterized. Especially, beauty and attractiveness judgments, two dimensions of interpersonal perception that are related but differ on their underlying motivational aspects, may vary according to the level of sexual desire.
The main goal of this study was to investigate whether women with and without HSDD differ in their evaluations of beauty and attractiveness of men's faces and voices.
Young women from the general population (controls, n = 16) and with HSDD (patients, n = 16) took part in the study. They were presented with a series of neutral/nonerotic voices and faces of young men from the GEneva Faces And Voices database.
Ratings of beauty (i.e., assessments of aesthetic pleasure) and of attractiveness (i.e., assessments of the personal propensity to feel attracted to someone) and the frequency to which the participants pressed a key to see or listen to each stimulus again were the main outcome measures.
Ratings of attractiveness were lower than ratings of beauty in both groups of women. The dissociation between beauty and attractiveness was larger in women with HSDD than in control participants. Patients gave lower attractiveness ratings than the controls and replayed the stimuli significantly less often.
These results suggest that women with HSDD are characterized by specific alterations of the motivational component of men's perception, very early in the process of interpersonal relationships. Our findings have significant implications, both in better understanding the specific cognitive processes underlying hypoactive sexual desire and more largely the evaluative processes involved in human mate choice.
尽管性欲减退障碍（HSDD）的患病率很高，尤其是在女性中，但这种性功能障碍仍未得到充分了解。在可能与HSDD相关的多种因素中，社会刺激的认知评估的特殊性需要得到更好的描述。特别是，美和吸引力判断是人际感知的两个维度，它们相关但在潜在动机方面有所不同，可能会因性欲水平而有所差异。
本研究的主要目的是调查患有和未患有HSDD的女性在对男性面部和声音的美和吸引力评估上是否存在差异。
来自普通人群的年轻女性（对照组，n = 16）和患有HSDD的女性（患者组，n = 16）参与了这项研究。她们观看和聆听了来自日内瓦面部和声音数据库的一系列年轻男性的中性/非色情声音和面孔。
美（即审美愉悦感评估）和吸引力（即对被某人吸引的个人倾向评估）的评分，以及参与者再次按下按键查看或聆听每个刺激的频率是主要观察指标。
两组女性中，吸引力评分均低于美评分。与对照组相比，患有HSDD的女性中美与吸引力之间的分离更大。患者组的吸引力评分低于对照组，并且再次播放刺激的频率明显更低。
这些结果表明，患有HSDD的女性在人际关系过程的早期阶段，其对男性感知的动机成分存在特定改变。我们的研究结果对于更好地理解性欲减退背后的特定认知过程以及更广泛地理解人类配偶选择中涉及的评估过程具有重要意义。
