title: Female s-xual response. Hormonal and behavioral interactions.
abstract: Recent studies suggest that hormones do play a role in the expression of female sexual behavior, and the inconsistency of findings between various groups does not mean that hormonal effects can be disregarded. Hormones may interact with other situational variables to sometimes enhance sexual behavior, and at other times suppress it. Sexual activity may itself trigger alterations in hormone levels, just as hormones may activate changes in behavior.
