Popis: The effect of informational feedback concerning level of penile responding on subsequent sexual arousal was examined in a case of homo- and heterosexual impotence, using a single subject experimental design. Penile response to slides of nude males and nude females during separate measurement sessions without feedback was significantly increased during a phase where treatment sessions contained contingent feedback, decreased when feedback was administered non-contingently, and increased once again when contingent feedback was reinstated. The increase in penile responding was paralleled by achievement of ejaculation during masturbation, changes in masturbatory fantasy and reports of homo- and heterosexual arousal outside the laboratory.
