Central inhibition of sexual response in the male: a theoretical perspective
Abstract
A theoretical model for central inhibition of sexual response is proposed, postulating individual variability in the propensity for such inhibition. Whereas such inhibition is typically adaptive, individuals with high propensity may be vulnerable to sexual dysfunction, and those with low propensity to high risk sexual behavior. Evidence of the existence and localization of such inhibitory mechanisms from both the animal and human literature is reviewed. Evidence of central neurotransmitters with sexual inhibitory effects is substantial, though in most cases the inhibition is not specific to sexual response or behavior. Recent studies have identified centers in the brain stem and lateral hypothalamus which appear to have specific inhibitory effects on sexual response. A variety of adaptive mechanisms involving inhibition of sexual response are considered, some involving perception of threat, others occurring more directly as consequences of previous sexual activity. These different adaptive functions may well involve different inhibitory mechanisms. This theoretical model opens a new agenda for experimental research into adaptive sexual behavior, both human and animal.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
