Effects on sexual arousal of unemployment and acute stress were studied in men. Ten unemployed (high-chronic-stress) and 9 employed (low-chronic-stress) men were exposed to two erotic videotapes in the laboratory. Acute stress was induced by telling the men that they would have to give a talk on their own sexual behavior and fantasies. Half the men were told about the talk before seeing either erotic tape, the other half were told in between the two erotic tapes. Cardiovascular measures confirmed the stressful nature of this manipulation. Results showed that the unemployed men achieved less penile tumescence than the employed men when stressed prior to erotic stimulation. Presentation of the stressor between the erotic videotapes (after sexual arousal occurred) produced no differences between the employed and unemployed men. These results suggest that impairment of erection occurs as a result of a combination of chronic and acute stress.
对男性失业和急性应激对性唤起的影响进行了研究。10名失业（高慢性应激）男性和9名就业（低慢性应激）男性在实验室中观看了两段色情录像带。通过告知男性他们必须就自己的性行为和幻想进行演讲来诱发急性应激。一半男性在观看任何一段色情录像带之前被告知演讲事宜，另一半在两段色情录像带之间被告知。心血管测量结果证实了这种操作的应激性质。结果显示，在色情刺激之前受到应激时，失业男性的阴茎勃起程度低于就业男性。在色情录像带之间（性唤起发生后）呈现应激源，就业男性和失业男性之间没有差异。这些结果表明，勃起功能障碍是慢性应激和急性应激共同作用的结果。
