  		Fig. 2. —Bar chart shows results of ranking analysis: 97% (29/30) of baseline examinations were scored by the three observers as having least vascular flow (4 = least flow) among the four studies that each volunteer underwent. However, no clear pattern emerged regarding the three other examinations. Note relatively equal pattern of distribution between rankings (1 = most flow, 4 = least flow) and time of the examination (Immediate, 6 Hr, and 24 Hr = immediately, 6 hr, and 24 hr after ejaculation).
