Previous research using clinical samples has shown a positive relationship between women's sexual functioning and (i.e., agreement between genital and subjective sexual arousal). We further examined this relationship using concurrent measures of vaginal, clitoral, and subjective sexual responses in a community sample of women ( = 64, with 59.4% and 34.1% reporting sexual desire and/or arousal difficulties, respectively). Contrary to studies using clinical samples, sexual desire and arousal difficulties were associated with stronger sexual concordance, specifically when changes in subjective arousal predicted changes in genital responses. The subjective experience of arousal may be particularly important in influencing genital responses in women with sexual desire and arousal difficulties compared to unaffected women.
先前使用临床样本的研究表明，女性的性功能与（即生殖器和主观性唤起之间的一致性）之间存在正相关关系。我们进一步使用社区女性样本中的阴道、阴蒂和主观性反应的同时测量来检验这种关系（ = 64，分别有 59.4%和 34.1%报告存在性欲和/或唤起困难）。与使用临床样本的研究相反，性欲和唤起困难与更强的性一致性相关，特别是当主观唤起的变化预测生殖器反应的变化时。与未受影响的女性相比，唤起的主观体验可能在影响性欲和唤起困难的女性的生殖器反应方面特别重要。
