Description
This book explores the full consequences of the dissociation between sexual behaviors and reproduction. Among the themes covered is the
difference between the stereotyped sexual behaviors in non-human mammals and the astounding variety of human sexual behaviors. The role
of learning in shaping sexual behaviors is explained, and it is shown how particular sexual experiences may be at the origin of common
human sexual dysfunctions. Chapters on sexual incentives and a summary of the endocrine and central nervous control of sexual behaviors
are included.
Audience:
Neuroscientists, biologists, sexologists, psychiatrists, clinical psychologists.
