It is postulated that there was greater pressure to inhibit potentially maladaptive emotional, social, and sexual responses on prehistoric women than men in some contexts, resulting in enhanced inhibitory abilities in women in some domains.

Sexual arousal and orgasm produce a distinct pattern of neuroendocrine alterations in women, primarily inducing a long-lasting elevation in plasma prolactin concentrations, suggesting that Prolactin is an endocrine marker of sexual aroused and orgasm.

157 Citations1998Tillmann H. C. Krüger, Michael S. Exton +4 more
Orgasm induced transient increases in heart rate, blood pressure and noradrenaline plasma levels and none of the other endocrine variables were significantly affected by sexual arousal and orgasm.

113 Citations1981Debra L. Steinman, John P. Wincze +3 more
The results indicate that males and females differ in both the direction and magnitude of their arousal response to a variety of erotic stimuli and that there is a stronger correspondence between subjective and physiological measures of sexual arousal for males than for females.

Findings indicate an important role for serotonin in PRL and GH secretion, as well as in mood regulation, in humans and may be of use in the study of serotonergic function in a variety of neurologic and psychiatric diseases.

92 Citations1980John P. Wincze, Elizabeth M. Venditti +2 more
Results of correlational analyses indicated that for men greater degrees of erection result in significantly higher subjective-objective agreement, and patterns for women as a group were much less clear, with only two significant correlations appearing.

64 Citations1992Sae Chul Kim, Moon Mock Oh
The level of norepinephrine was higher in patients with psychogenically impotent men than in the normal controls and patients with vasculogenic impotence, and it was significantly higher in negative responders than in positive responders in the psychogenicImpotence group.

39 Citations1995John Bancroft
The evidence is consistent with a role for NA mediation in human sexual arousal, but suggests that more than one NA mediated system exist, involving both central arousal and inhibition of peripheral responses such as erection.
PsychopharmacologyEvaluating the effects of an alpha-2 adrenoceptor antagonist on erectile function in the human male
34 Citations1994Miguel Munoz, John Bancroft +1 more
There was a significant though modest increase in the duration of erectile response with the high dose of the drug, but only in the younger men, and the different pattern of response suggests that in younger men with psychogenic erectile failure, there is an inhibition of general arousal responses to erotic stimuli which is partially reversed by this drug.
Journal of Psychosomatic ResearchSimultaneous recording of penile diameter and penile arterial pulse during laboratory-based erotic stimulation in normal subjects
32 Citations1985John Bancroft, Christopher Bell
Simultaneous monitoring of penile diameter and penile pulse may provide further information about the basic physiological processes involved in penile erection as well as diagnostic information in patients with erectile dysfunction of uncertain aetiology.

There was no support for the hypothesis that inhibition of response to ICI results from increased circulating NE, though the possibility that increased NE release occurred specifically in the erectile tissues could not be excluded.

The commonly held view that males typically show a greater sexual responsivity to visual erotic stimuli than do females was not supported.
