Explores the consequences of the dissociation between sexual behaviors and reproduction. This book covers themes such as the difference between the stereotyped sexual behaviors in non-human mammals and the variety of human sexual behaviors.
Functional and Dysfunctional Sexual Behavior explores the full consequences of the dissociation between sexual behaviors and reproduction. Among the themes covered is the difference between the stereotyped sexual behaviors in non-human mammals and the astounding variety of human sexual behaviors. The role of learning in shaping sexual behaviors is explained, and it is shown how particular sexual experiences may be at the origin of common human sexual dysfunctions. Chapters on sexual incentives and a summary of the endocrine and central nervous control of sexual behaviors are included.

Dr. Anders Ågmo mainly investigates internal medicine, endocrinology, developmental psychology, neuroscience and naloxone. Dr. Ågmo conducted interdisciplinary study in his works that combined Internal medicine and estrogen receptor alpha. Anders Ågmo is involved in the study of endocrinology that focuses on neurotransmitters in particular. His work carried out in the field of developmental psychology brings together such families of science as ejaculation, oxytocin, locomotor activity and sexual desire. His research in the fields of dopaminergic, arousal and central nervous system overlaps with other disciplines such as stereospecificity and motor execution. The naloxone study combines topics in areas such as anesthesia and conditioned place preference.
