Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| In this pilot study we primarily aim to assess whether it is possible to enhance genital sexual arousal in men by means of excitation transfer. Additionally, we aim to explore the optimal parameters to create this effect, e.g. the nature of the stimulus and the order of presentation. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondarily, we aim to assess if sympathetic arousal levels (assessed by means of heart rate and HRV) are associated with enhanced sexual responses (assessed by penile circumference) to the various stimuli. Third, we aim to assess if there is an association between erectile response, subjective sexual arousal and self-reported sexual interest. | — |
