Biological factors in human sexuality

Pages 15-21 | Published online: 11 Jan 2010
 

This paper considers a number of key concepts relevant to biological determinants of human sexuality, including sexual differentiation, brain mechanisms involved in sexual response, the role of sex hormones, and the sexual effects of drugs. The paper concludes with consideration of how little is known about the interaction between biology and culture in shaping human sexuality, and the need for research in this area.
