In a study of the effects of vaginal musculature contractions (Kegel's exercises) on both subjective and physiological measures of sexual arousal, 30 normal females were randomly assigned to one of three groups. The first group was informed about these exercises and was asked to practice them both during lab sessions and during the week intervening between sessions. The second group was informed concerning the effects of Kegel's exercises but did not practice contractions. A control group received no information regarding these exercises. Measures of vaginal vasocongestion and subjective ratings of sexual arousal were obtained during two 31-minute lab sessions. Vaginal contractions enhanced both subjective ratings and physiological measures of arousal. When combined with self-generated fantasy, tensing further augmented arousal. These effects were not further enhanced after 1 week of practice. The present study provides empirical support for the prescription of Kegel's exercises to normal women as an enhancer of sexual arousal. Further study of the effects of Kegel's exercises on a sample of dysfunctional women is necessary to determine the applicability of these results to a clinical population.
在一项关于阴道肌肉收缩（凯格尔运动）对性唤起的主观和生理指标影响的研究中，30名正常女性被随机分为三组。第一组被告知这些运动，并被要求在实验室课程期间以及课程之间的一周内进行练习。第二组被告知凯格尔运动的效果，但不进行收缩练习。对照组未得到有关这些运动的任何信息。在两个31分钟的实验室课程中，获取了阴道血管充血指标和性唤起的主观评分。阴道收缩增强了性唤起的主观评分和生理指标。当与自我产生的幻想相结合时，紧张会进一步增强性唤起。经过1周的练习后，这些效果并未进一步增强。本研究为向正常女性开具凯格尔运动处方以增强性唤起提供了实证支持。有必要对功能障碍女性样本进行凯格尔运动效果的进一步研究，以确定这些结果对临床人群的适用性。
