Summarizes physiological findings and reviews the psychological experimental literature investigating the relationship between alcohol and human sexuality. Specifically, the authors attempt to reconcile the apparent contradictions found in the effects of alcohol on male and female sexual responding. The review concludes (a) that alcohol disinhibits psychological sexual arousal and suppresses physiological responding, the former effect being stronger at lower doses of alcohol and the latter effect at higher doses; (b) that although suppression is strictly pharmacological in nature, disinhibition appears to be both pharmacological (the result of cognitive impairment) and psychological (the result of socially learned expectancies); and (c) that expectancies and cognitive impairment can disinhibit separately or jointly.
总结了生理学研究结果，并回顾了调查酒精与人类性行为之间关系的心理学实验文献。具体而言，作者试图调和在酒精对男性和女性性反应的影响中发现的明显矛盾。该综述得出以下结论：(a)酒精会解除对心理性唤起的抑制并抑制生理反应，前一种效应在低剂量酒精时更强，后一种效应在高剂量酒精时更强；(b)虽然抑制本质上完全是药理学作用，但解除抑制似乎既是药理学作用（认知障碍的结果）也是心理学作用（社会习得预期的结果）；(c)预期和认知障碍可以单独或共同解除抑制。
