Use of the Bogus Pipeline Increases Sexual Concordance in Women But Not Men

摘要: Sexual concordance—the agreement between physiological (genital) and psychological (emotional) sexual arousal—is, on average, substantially lower in women than men. Following social role theory, the gender difference concordance may manifest because men are responding a way that accommodates norms. We examined genital self-reported arousal 47 50 using condition known to discourage conformity norms (i.e., bogus pipeline paradigm). Participants reported their feelings of during sexually explicit film, while (penile circumference, vaginal vasocongestion), heart rate (HR), galvanic skin (GS) responses were recorded. Half participants instructed was being monitored for veracity HR GS (bogus condition; BPC); remaining told these recorded comprehensive record response (typical testing TTC). Using multi-level modeling, we found only women’s affected by BPC exhibited significantly higher those TTC. Thus, provide first evidence at least partially result from factors.
