Jean-Marc, Vaginal plethysmography (VPP) assesses changes in vaginal blood flow. fMRI measures clitoral volume and genital blood flow. Heart rate, respiration, and skin conductance are other physiological measures that are often used in conjunction with the first two.

Covering States of Consciousness, we of course spend a lot of time on sleep. There is a passage in the text that mentions that during REM sleep, one's genitals become aroused. It is easy to figure out how an erection is monitored. The question was about the kind of apparatus used to monitor female genital arousal. An erection is straightforward (no pun intended...) whereas the female sexual response is not. How does one go about measuring engorgement and lubrication? Looking forward to your answers...
