The control group’s genital response and subjective arousal more than doubled when tested at home, compared to in the lab. Plus they reported feeling “less inhibited” and “more at ease” at home. The low-desire group’s genital response also doubled at home… but their subjective arousal did not, nor did they report feeling less inhibited or more at ease. Which is to say, they were less concordant because their brakes didn’t turn off. Just being at home wasn’t enough to turn off the low-desire women’s brakes.
