The fact that the advertisement is specifically targeting male volunteers who are willing to participate in a study of male sexual response suggests that the sample of volunteers may not be representative of the general population of college-age males. It is possible that those who respond to such an ad may have a particular interest or curiosity about sexual topics, or may be more open to sharing personal information about their sexual experiences. Therefore, it may not be possible to generalize the results of the study to all college-age males.
