Despite increased attention to understanding risk factors for sexual aggression, knowledge regarding the emotional and sexual arousal patterns of sexually aggressive men remains limited. The current study examined whether sexually aggressive men exhibit unique profiles of affective responsivity, in particular to negatively valenced stimuli, as well as sexual arousal patterns that differentiate them from nonaggressive men. We presented 78 young men (38 sexually aggressive; 40 nonaggressive) with a series of videos designed to induce positive, sad, or anxious affect. Affect and subjective sexual arousal were assessed following each film and erectile responses were measured continuously. Sexually aggressive men reported significantly higher levels of sexual arousal following both the positive and negative conditions as compared to nonaggressive men. Erectile responses of sexually aggressive men were significantly greater than nonaggressive men's following the positive affect induction. Self-reported positive affect, but not negative affect, was a significant predictor of subjective sexual arousal for both groups of men. Compared to nonaggressive men, sexually aggressive men showed significantly weaker correlations between subjective and physiological sexual arousal. Findings suggest that generalized heightened propensity for sexual arousal may be a risk factor for sexually aggressive behavior.
尽管人们越来越关注理解性侵犯的风险因素，但对于性侵犯男性的情感和性唤起模式的了解仍然有限。本研究考察了性侵犯男性是否表现出独特的情感反应模式，特别是对负性刺激的反应模式，以及与非侵犯男性区分开来的性唤起模式。我们向 78 名年轻男性（38 名性侵犯；40 名非侵犯）展示了一系列旨在引起积极、悲伤或焦虑情绪的视频。在观看每部电影后评估情感和主观性唤起，同时连续测量勃起反应。与非侵犯男性相比，性侵犯男性在积极和消极条件下报告的性唤起水平明显更高。在积极情绪诱导后，性侵犯男性的勃起反应明显大于非侵犯男性。对于两组男性来说，自我报告的积极情绪而不是消极情绪是主观性唤起的一个重要预测因素。与非侵犯男性相比，性侵犯男性的主观和生理性唤起之间的相关性明显较弱。研究结果表明，普遍存在的高度性唤起倾向可能是性侵犯行为的一个风险因素。
