The Relationship between Subjective and Physiological Sexual Arousal in Women with and without Arousal Concerns.

Moreover, previous research has shown that interoception (i.e., the awareness of changes within the body) influences concordance in women, though how this effect varies by sexual function is yet unknown. The present study used multilevel modeling to examine concordance in women with (
