Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The main endpoint of the Feeling Hot 2 study is to determine the change in penile skin temperature and increased duration of (de)tumescence during nocturnal erections. With these outcomes, the validity of temperature measurements to detect nocturnal erections can be determined.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary outcome of the Feeling Hot 2 study combines the results of the Feeling Hot 1 study. It is studied what differences in bodily skin temperature exist between nocturnal erections and visually aroused erections. Furthermore, it is studied whether the reference temperature probe placed on the outer thigh can compensate for the environmental influences of blankets and clothing.
