Eight adult women volunteers viewed the same erotic film in two different sessions. Their resulting genital responses were recorded simultaneously by three different measures: vaginal pressure pulse, vaginal blood volume, and labial temperature change. During the erotic stimulation, the vaginal pressure pulse and labial responses always increased, and the vaginal blood volume response increased on all but two occasions. Although there was considerable intersubject variability in each genital measure, all three measures were found to have some intrasubject consistency over sessions with respect to either their response amplitudes or patterns, with labial temperature being the most consistent on both parameters. The relationship between the response patterns of the three measures during the film was also relatively consistent across sessions, as was the correspondence between subjective ratings of arousal and both vaginal pressure pulse and labial responses but not vaginal blood volume response. To overcome the problem of considerable intrasubject variability of response amplitudes, it was suggested that the inclusion in the data analysis of several parameters of response patterns, which were relatively stable over sessions, might facilitate the evaluation of a treatment.
八名成年女性志愿者在两个不同的时间段观看了同一部色情影片。通过三种不同的测量方法同时记录她们产生的生殖器反应：阴道压力脉冲、阴道血容量和阴唇温度变化。在性刺激过程中，阴道压力脉冲和阴唇反应总是增加，除了两次之外，阴道血容量反应也增加。尽管在每种生殖器测量中受试者之间存在相当大的变异性，但发现所有三种测量在各时间段内就其反应幅度或模式而言在受试者内部都有一定的一致性，阴唇温度在两个参数上最为一致。影片播放期间三种测量的反应模式之间的关系在各时间段内也相对一致，性唤起的主观评分与阴道压力脉冲和阴唇反应之间的对应关系也是如此，但与阴道血容量反应无关。为了克服反应幅度在受试者内部存在相当大的变异性这一问题，有人建议在数据分析中纳入在各时间段内相对稳定的几种反应模式参数，这可能有助于治疗评估。
