Sexual attractiveness

Sexually transmitted disease (unspecified) as a teen and in her twenties, but has been monogamous since her last marriage in her mid-thirties she states, "It has not always been easy to stay with my husband" she feels sexually attracted to many men. [Pg.587]

Following their use in the behavioral trials, sub-sets of the experimental females (n = 8) and experimental newly-emerged males (n = 8) were immediately sacrificed with an overdose of brevital sodium and their skin lipids were extracted with hexane overnight (LeMaster and Mason 2002). After removal of the animals, the extracts were returned to Western Oregon University where the methyl ketones composing the female sexual attractiveness pheromone were isolated using column chromatography (described in LeMaster and Mason 2002). [Pg.225]

The results of this study demonstrate that upon emergence from winter hibernation, newly-emerged males are attractive to other males, albeit not to the same degree as females. Furthermore, it appears that the attractive nature of these males is due to the presence of a pheromone profile similar to the female sexual attractiveness pheromone. As hypothesized, complete GC/MS analysis showed no significant... [Pg.227]

Reproductive success measured where there is effective contraception is, of course, of limited value in assessing the evolutionary utility of a given human behavior. Under these modem conditions it may be better to measure mate value, i.e., sexual attractiveness, as a proxy for reproductive success (e.g., Dong et al., 1996 Weisfeld et al., 1992). Sexual attractiveness, of course, refers to an emotion and as such is a proximate cause of ultimate biological success. [Pg.40]

Red-sided garter snakes from different regions of Manitoba, Canada show signs of isolation by chemical cues. In choice tests, males from a hiber-naculum (overwintering den) in central Manitoba preferred females from their own population to females from western Manitoba. Males from western Manitoba showed no preference. When confronted with experimental trails, males made the same choices. This demonstrated that a chemical factor is involved. Furthermore, the sexual attractiveness pheromone of females, a series of ty-9-cis-unsaturated methyl ketones, varies between the populations. Specifically, the... [Pg.198]

Cyproterone is used to control sexual attraction in men in cases of sexual deviations, as well as for inoperable prostate gland carcinoma. In women, it is used for severe cases of androgenization, and in children with idiopathic premature sexual maturity. Synonyms of this drug are cyprostat, androcur, daian, and others. [Pg.384]

A -Pyrroline (12i) is emitted by sexually mature male Mediterranean fruit flies (Ceratitis capitate), together with 2-ethyl-3,5-dimethylpyrazine (21b) (Tables II and III). This cyclic imine (12i) is the key component in the sexual attraction of virgin female flies to males (102). Xanthommatin (58) and two pteridines (81 and 84) are also found in this fruit fly (Tables V and VI). [Pg.205]

Physical means of information are found with all living organisms. Chemical signaling is typical ofthe lower organisms and, through the vomeronasal neurons, the animals (Leinders-Zufall 2000). The latter rely also on sound and colors as information systems. Sound is flatly repetitive, such as with birds, to avoid breeding between closely related species. With man (MacNeilage 2000), and perhaps also apes and dolphins (Nowak 2000), soimd is syntactic. Man seems to have also inherited a rudimentary chemical information system, that is, sexual attraction exerted by pheromones released fi om the armpits (Stem 1998). However, the claim remains to be fiilly substantiated. [Pg.107]

I have been working with a paradigm list of natural appetites— hunger, thirst, and sex—but l have no precise account of the criteria of membership. The natural appetites have to do with what is needed for the health or flourishing of the individual, 1 said, but sexual appetite is anomalous in a number of respects. Sexual attraction often exhibits a... [Pg.14]
