Commentary: exploring hormonal influences on problem sexual behavior.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The conceptualization of sexual offending remains problematic and prey to fashion and enthusiasm. Progress can come only on the basis of sound research on the biological, social, and psychological associations to such offending. This study, though in some ways modest in its contribution, offers a model of the systematic approaches which offer the best chances of eventually understanding and managing sexual offending.

Estradiol increases female sexual initiation independent of male responsiveness in rhesus monkeys.
Copulation and female initiation of sexual behavior vary across the ovarian cycle, suggesting that female hormonal condition influences female sexual motivation in rhesus monkeys. However, the effects of hormones on female sexual motivation are difficult to identify because male behavior also varies with female hormonal condition. During the nonbreeding season, male rhesus monkeys are sexually ...
متن کاملHormonal and genetic influences on arousal--sexual and otherwise.
Genetic influences on lordosis, a mammalian social behavior, are amenable for study because of the relative simplicity of both stimuli and response. The neural circuit for lordosis involves a supraspinal loop, which is controlled by an estrogen- and progesterone-dependent signal from the medial hypothalamus and results in heightened sexual motivation. In turn, this involves elevated states of a...
متن کاملThe second to fourth digit ratio (2D:4D) in a Japanese twin sample: heritability, prenatal hormone transfer, and association with sexual orientation.
The second to fourth digit ratio has been argued to reflect prenatal hormonal influences and is reportedly associated with various psychological and behavioral traits, such as sexual orientation, cognitive abilities, and personality. We examined genetic and environmental influences on the second to fourth digit ratio (2D:4D) using a Japanese twin sample (N=300). The genetic analysis showed subs...
متن کاملProgesterone and prostaglandin F2α induce species-typical female preferences for male sexual displays in Cope's gray treefrog (Hyla chrysoscelis).
Endocrine systems play critical roles in facilitating sexual behavior in seasonally breeding vertebrates. Much of the research exploring this topic has focused on the endocrine correlates of signaling behavior in males and sexual proceptivity in females. What is less understood is how hormones promote the expression of the often complex and highly selective set of stimulus-response behaviors th...
