Brief Summary

The Feeling Hot studies focus on the proof-of-principle of using temperature sensing as a tool to detect nocturnal erections. In the Feeling Hot 1 study the influence of environmental factors of overnight measurements are studied in a controlled setting. Healthy individuals will have visually aroused erections in different circumstances (naked, clothing, blankets) to determine the feasibility of this new measurement method for nocturnal erection detection in the search to modernize erectile dysfunction diagnostics.

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Temperature increase

    Increase in penile skin temperature during erection

    10 minutes

  • (De)tumescence duration

    Duration of increased penile skin temperature during erection

    10 minutes

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Difference between sexual and nocturnal erections

    10 hours

Study Arms (1)

Visually aroused erection (naked, clothing, blankets)

OTHER

Randomisation of the order of visually aroused erection will be conducted: 1. Naked - Naked \& Blanket - Clothing \& Blanket 2. Naked - Clothing \& Blanket - Naked \& Blanket 3. Naked \& Blanket - Naked - Clothing \& Blanket 4. Naked \& Blanket - Clothing \& Blanket - Naked 5. Clothing \& Blanket - Naked - Naked \& Blanket 6. Clothing \& Blanket - Naked \& Blanket - Naked

Device: Feeling Hot sensor system

Interventions

The Feeling Hot sensor system consists of two temperature probes placed on the penis and outer thigh of the test subject to measure skin temperature during erection.

Visually aroused erection (naked, clothing, blankets)
