Document Summary
Chapter 4: sexual arousal and response page #95-124: In some societies, genital secretions are considered aphrodisiacs: aphrodisiac any drug or other agent that"s sexually arousing or that increases sexual desire. In a study, pheromones increased the sexual attractiveness of the men to their partners, although the men did not claim that it directly stimulated sexual behaviour. Menstrual synchrony: women exposed to other women"s underarm secretions, which contained steroids that may function as pheromones, showed converging shifts in their menstrual cycles, similar synchronization of menstrual cycles among women who share dormitory rooms. Touch sex as a touching experience: the sense of touch has the most direct effects on sexual arousal and response. Week 3: any region of that skin can become eroticized. Anaphrodisiacs: anaphrodisiac a drug or other agent whose effects are antagonistic to sexual arousal or sexual desire. These structures form a fringe along the inner edge of the cerebrum.
