Sexual arousal is category-specific in men. Heterosexual men are more aroused by female than by male sexual stimuli and homosexual men show the opposite pattern. There is reason to believe that female sexual arousal is differently organized, however. My master's research showed that women have nonspecific genital and subjective arousal patterns. I conducted three studies to further examine whether female sexual arousal is category-specific. The first examined the arousal patterns of gay and heterosexual men to compare men and women using the same methodology and stimuli, and to determine whether the stimuli were capable of eliciting a category-specific response pattern. In the second study, I examined whether the nonspecific sexual arousal patterns obtained in a community sample of women were attributable to ascertainment bias. For the third study, I examined both men and women's arousal to nonhuman sexual stimuli to determine whether women's genital arousal could be provoked by general sexual cues. In the first study, men showed the predicted category-specific pattern of genital and subjective arousal. The second study showed that the nonspecific patterns of community women are unlikely due to ascertainment bias. In the third study, women demonstrated significant genital, but not subjective, arousal to nonhuman sexual stimuli. These findings suggest that sexual arousal play a fundamentally different role in male and female sexuality.Subjects--Topical Terms:
