The Effects of False Physiological Feedback on Sexual Arousal in Sexually Dysfunctional and Functional Males

Abstract

According to a recent model of psychogenic erectile dysfunction (Sbrocco and Barlow,1996), dysfunctional performance results from focusing on negative outcome expectancy and low confidence following a discrepancy between expected and actual performance. The purpose ofthe current study was to manipulate the experience of sexually functional and dysfunctional males to produce a discrepancy between expected and actual performance. Fifty-six sexually functional and 57 sexually dysfunctional men were assigned to one of four groups (negative feedback, neutral feedback. inflated feedback, or no feedback).
