Our research team in the Department of Psychology at McGill University is seeking healthy, heterosexual men & women between the ages of 18-50, with low sexual desire and/or arousal, to participate in a study examining how "what you want" and "what turns you on" impacts how your body responds.

Participation involves a single testing session and takes place in our laboratory at McGill University. Participants will receive a comprehensive assessment of their sexual difficulties.

Participation will also include:

1. Completing questionnaires and interviews;
2. Viewing neutral and erotic film clips;
3. Having genital temperature measured via thermal imaging (which requires no physical contact with the participant).

Participation involves NO health risks and your confidentiality and anonymity are assured. Following participation, participants will receive educational feedback, including treatment referrals and self-help resources. Financial compensation will also be provided.
