This gendered pattern of genital response has only been demonstrated using vaginal photoplethysmography (VPP) in women and primarily penile plethysmography (PPG) in men. These measures assess different aspects of genital vasocongestion, thereby limiting comparisons between genders. Thermography is a newer sexual psychophysiology methodology that measures genital vasocongestion via temperature change and is better suited to assess sexual response between genders because the dependent measure, change in genital temperature, is similar for women and men. Further, previous studies have assessed gender specificity of sexual response across relatively short sexual stimuli, allowing only the examination of initial phases of sexual response. We examined gender specificity of sexual arousal by measuring women's and men's genital responses to lengthier stimuli with concurrent thermography and VPP\/PPG. Gynephilic men (i.e., sexually attracted to women; <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200927) and androphilic women (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200928) viewed 10\u2010min films depicting men masturbating, women masturbating, and a nonsexual film, and reported feelings of sexual arousal while genital responses were assessed. Across measures, men's sexual responses were gender\u2010specific and women's responses were gender\u2010nonspecific, indicating that the gender difference in gender specificity of arousal is robust to methodology and stimulus duration. These findings replicate previous research, extend knowledge of gendered sexual response, and highlight the utility of multimethod approaches in sexual psychophysiology.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/psyp.12466","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,8]],"date-time":"2015-07-08T07:21:53Z","timestamp":1436340113000},"page":"1382-1395","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":56,"title":["Examining gender specificity of sexual response with concurrent thermography and plethysmography"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"52","author":[{"given":"Jackie S.","family":"Huberman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology Queen's University Kingston Ontario Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Meredith L.","family":"Chivers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology Queen's University Kingston Ontario Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1469-8986.1985.tb01669.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0005-7967(66)90015-5"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1901\/jaba.1970.3-73"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1192\/bjp.119.551.377"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10508-013-0233-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jsm.12102"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.biopsycho.2004.12.002"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.0956-"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10508-013-0174-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0022-3514.93.6.1108"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10508-009-9556-9"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10508-012-9937-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1023\/A:1024524326105"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_15_1","unstructured":"Fothergill A.(Director).
