Intercorrelations among general trait arousability, emerging sexual desire, current sexual desire, lack of sexual desire perceived as a problem, and sexual dysfunction were assessed in 65 women currently involved in marital or de facto heterosexual relationships. The Stimulus Screening Test was used to measure general arousability and the Assessment of Sexual Function and Dysfunction Questionnaire was used to measure emerging sexual desire, current sexual desire lack of sexual desire, and sexual dysfunction. Analysis showed that arousability was positively associated with current levels of sexual desire which was negatively associated with sexual dysfunction. There was a curvilinear relationship between arousability and sexual dysfunction, with women experiencing both high and low levels of arousability being more likely to score higher on measures of sexual dysfunction than those experiencing medium levels of arousal. The possible implications of these results are discussed.
对65名目前处于婚姻或事实异性恋关系中的女性，评估了一般特质唤起性、初现性欲、当前性欲、被视为问题的性欲缺乏以及性功能障碍之间的相互关系。使用刺激筛选测试来测量一般唤起性，使用性功能与功能障碍评估问卷来测量初现性欲、当前性欲、性欲缺乏和性功能障碍。分析表明，唤起性与当前性欲水平呈正相关，而当前性欲水平与性功能障碍呈负相关。唤起性与性功能障碍之间存在曲线关系，与处于中等唤起水平的女性相比，唤起性水平高和低的女性在性功能障碍测量中的得分更高的可能性更大。讨论了这些结果可能的影响。
