Table 2

Groups, sample size, craving score, and performance on the CRT and IAT in subjects tested in the Sex study.

	𝑛	Craving	CRT						IAT
			Male model	Female model	“Junk” food	Snacks	Buildings	Colors	Sex/I dislike	Sex/I like
Males Involved	20	108 (6.5)*	7 (3.3)	429 (84.8)^*#	70.5 (20.2)	62.6 (16.6)	51.3 (15.7)	75.3 (18.6)	624 (32.1)	555.1 (25.1)*
Males not involved	23	89 (4.7)	4.5 (1.1)	155.3 (46.3)*	57.3 (13.6)	69 (20)	28.3 (8.4)	51.6 (15.1)	605.2 (25)	545.3 (21.3)*
Females involved	36	102 (5.4)*	265.3 (92)^*#	34.2 (13.6)	38.5 (9.5)	64.1 (11.7)	30.8 (8.8)	93 (23.7)	590.2 (16.8)	543.7 (13.1)*
Females not involved	27	81 (6.2)	165.8 (41)*	11.7 (3.2)	22.7 (4.3)	51.4 (11.3)	17.6 (3.4)	48.7 (11.2)	716.1 (49.3)	604 (23)*

The first two columns include sample size and scores on the sexual craving questionnaire. The * indicates a significant difference, within gender, between those involved and those not involved in a relationship. The next six columns include performance on the CRT (mean (sem) responses on each key). The * indicates a significant difference, within group, between responding a specific key and all other keys; the # indicates a significant difference in response on the same key, within gender, between those involved and not involved in a relationship. The last two columns include performance on the IAT (mean (sem) reaction time in msec). The * indicates a significant difference within group.
