Но исследования показывают что половые гормоны способствуют усилению окр. Это логично - влечение само по себе
сильное и навязчивое (непроходящее) желание.
sexual desire seems to be significantly
different from hunger or thirst, as there does not seem to be a direct biological need
that demands satisfaction. We have long known that there is no evidence of any adverse
biological effects of sexual abstinence for the individual (Beach, 1956).
The Incentive Theory of Sexual Motivation (ITSM) provides a decidedly different
approach (Bindra, 1974; Both et al., 2007; Singer &Toates, 1987; Toates, 2009). This
model describes sexual excitement and desire as an emotional reaction to a stimulus
and considers the mechanism through which sexual emotional states and feelings of
sexual excitement and desire appear, similarly as with other emotions that are coupled
with relatively strong bodily reactions. The ITSM model does not assume an inherent
internal sexual drive, but emphasizes an important initiating role for the stimulus:
‘sexual motivation is the result of the activation of a sensitive sexual response system
by sexually competent stimuli present in the environment. Once the sexual system,
wherein sensitivity is influenced by hormones and neurotransmitters, interacts with the
stimulus, the individual is pushed towards sexual activity. In this view sexual motivation
does not emerge through a deficit signalled by the hypothalamus, but through the
attractiveness of possible rewards in the environment.’ (Both et al., 2007, p. 333)
