  2. METHODS Twenty males, referring erectile dysfunction and 12 control subjects underwent a sexual visual stimulation (SVS). Two videos of 30 minutes showing either erotic or not erotic scenes were presented to the subjects (SVS). The erectile reaction was evaluated with Rigiscan Dacomed Plus. The ED sample made a first test in basal condition and in case of no reaction, a second test after assumption of 50 g of Sildenafil. The Control Sample made only one test. During the experimental session skin conductance was recorded. We analysed skin conductance relative to the first erectile peak of each subject.

  3. This work confirms the utility of Sexual Visual Stimulation (SVS) used for Diagnostic Screening of Erectile Dysfunction (ED), because it is scarcely invasive, is reliable and has low cost. • The major Skin conductance activity that we found in ED patients (with or without Sildenafil therapy)could be connected to a “Performance Anxiety”: the patient is aware of having erectile reactions during the test and much more after Sildenafil assumption. But especially the low conductance values of Control Sample make us suppose an higher tendency to sympathetic hyperactivation in patients with ED.
