有和没有性功能障碍的男性呈现出不同的模式之间的协议性唤起的主观估计和更客观的心理生理措施相同的结构。这种相对准确性似乎与性功能有关，患有性功能障碍的男性的估计不太准确（大多数报告低于测量的唤醒水平）。本研究的目的是阐明性唤起的潜在过程及其自我估计的准确性。我们在60名性功能正常的男性样本中，研究了性唤起（主观和生理）的潜在预测因素以及客观性唤起的估计准确性。预测因素包括预先存在的性态度（erotophobia），特质和状态的积极和消极的影响，自我集中的注意力，和interoceptive意识。结果表明，性功能的样本一般低于自己的勃起水平。有趣的是，特质负面情绪与较低水平的主观唤醒和较高水平的生理唤醒有关。另一方面，状态积极影响促进了主观和客观的唤醒，并在一定程度上增加了勃起反应估计的准确性。预先存在的性态度，以及变化的自我集中的注意力和内感受性意识证明性唤起或其估计的准确性几乎没有影响。
Men with and without sexual dysfunction present with varying patterns of agreement between subjective estimates of sexual arousal and more objective psychophysiological measures of the same construct. This relative accuracy seems to be associated with sexual function, with men who have sexual dysfunction presenting less accurate estimations (mostly reporting below measured arousal levels). The purpose of this study is to clarify the processes underlying sexual arousal and the accuracy of its self-estimation. We looked at potential predictors of sexual arousal (subjective and physiological) and accuracy in estimating objective sexual arousal in a sample of 60 sexually functional males. Predictors included pre-existing sexual attitudes (erotophobia), both trait and state positive and negative affect, self-focused attention, and interoceptive awareness. Results indicate that this sexually functional sample generally reported below their own erection level. Interestingly, trait negative affect was associated with somewhat lower levels of subjective arousal and higher levels of physiological arousal. On the other hand, state positive affect facilitated both subjective and objective arousal and increased somewhat the accuracy of estimates of erectile responding. Pre-existing sexual attitudes as well as variations in self-focused attention and interoceptive awareness evidenced little effect on sexual arousal or the accuracy of its estimation.
