Suppression of Penile Tumescence by Instrumental Conditioning

RAYMOND C. ROSEN PhD1

1 Department of Psychiatry, CMDNJ-Rutgers Medical School, Piscataway, New Jersey 08854

Penile tumescence was elicited in normal male volunteers by erotic tape-recorded passages. Experimental subjects were provided with immediate contingent feedback [red light] whenever their penile tumescence exceeded a criterion increase. Controls for noncontingent feedback and suppression instructions alone indicate that the instrumental conditioning procedure is particularly effective in modifying this response. Results have implications for etiological formulations and treatment of psychogenic potency disorders.
