The increasing use of immersive technologies for sexual purposes raises questions about their capacity to enhance a unique aspect of presence-Sexual Presence (SP). Investigating this phenomenon hinges on our ability to measure it accurately. This paper improves our understanding of SP by identifying potential quantitative electroencephalography variables associated with SP. Twelve heterosexual cisgender males were exposed to virtual scenarios featuring sexual content performed by a Virtual Character (VC). After viewing, participants completed a Sexual Presence questionnaire. Correlations were observed between self-reported SP and the alpha band activity in the frontal and parietal regions.
