Dual Control Model

The Dual Control Model of sexual response has been mostly tested with men. As such, there is a lack of evidence on how such model applies to women’s experience of sexual arousal, particularly when they face a threatening situation such as the threat of sexual performance failure. The aim of the current study was to test whether the Dual Control Model dimensions predict women’s sexual responses to a bogus negative feedback about their sexual performance. In addition, 22 women were exposed to a sexually explicit film clip, while their genital arousal was being measured. During this presentation, a bogus negative feedback, aimed at increasing women’s anxiety about their sexual performance, was provided. Vaginal photopletismography and self-report questions were used as means to evaluate women’s genital and subjective sexual arousal, respectively. The Sexual Excitation/Sexual Inhibition Inventory for Women was further used to capture women’s sexual dynamics. Regression analysis on the high-order factors revealed that sexual excitation proneness was the only predictor of the subjective sexual responses, while none of the factors has predicted genital arousal. “Arousability” and “Concerns about sexual function” dimensions predicted subjective sexual arousal. Sexual arousability may prevent women of lowering their subjective sexual responses in a sexually demanding situation, while “Concerns about sexual function” may have the opposite role, thus being a target of clinical interest. This work provides new data on the Dual Control Model of sexual response, and particularly on its role in women’s sexual functioning.

Attitudes And Behavior

The purpose of this study was that of examining the verbal sexuality of males and females in relation co their perception of the child-rearing attitudes and behavior of their parents. Subjects rated both their mothers and fathers on the Parent-child Relations Questionnaire and the Traditional Family Ideology Scale. All subjects also gave free associations to homophones and double-entendre words loaded for sexual meaning. For both sexes, but especially females, free associative sexual responses were significantly correlated with maternal ratings, while paternal ratings were unrelated to sexual responses. There was some evidence that mothers have opposite effects upon the verbal sexuality of sons and daughters. All subjects gave their free associations to a female experimenter.

Good Possibility

Any trait that is advantageous in the normal business of living will make its possessor a more advantageous mate, thus providing selection pressure favoring the trait of preferring to mate with an individual having such traits. In many cases such a feature will have contributed to radiation into a new niche. It will also distinguish a newly evolved species from its ancestral species, providing a basis for reproductive isolation. Consequently recently evolved generally adaptive features are likely to be sexually stimulating or attended to in mate selection. Therefore, there is a good possibility that there are some biologically based mating preferences and sexual responses in humans that are expressed in most cultures.
