The sex that invests more in offspring should be more choosy or discriminating
The sex that invests less in offspring should compete more vigorously for opposite sex

“The Evolution of Desire: Strategies of Human Mating”
has looked at preferences across MANY cultures from around the world with specific predictions……..
![Page 11: Sexual Behaviors](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814842550346895db55a30/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Hypothesis: Men will express greater desire for, or interest in, short-term mates than women
n= 148 college students; 75 men, 73 women
Asked if seeking short-term mate (“ one night stand, brief affair) and independently whether they were seeking a long-term mate (defined as marrige partner)
7 point scale1 – not at all currently seeking
7 – strongly currently seeking
![Page 12: Sexual Behaviors](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814842550346895db55a30/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
For any given period of time, men will desire a larger number of mates than will women

Some chemicals act as both neurotransmitters AND hormones
![Page 24: Sexual Behaviors](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814842550346895db55a30/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
What is a hormone?◦ chemical substance released that binds to
receptors on other cells
How is this different from a neurotransmitter?◦ travels further distance◦ released by glands

critical for aspects of sexual behavior (and development of sex organs and circuits)
ex. estrogen, testosterone,
these are lipid (fat) soluble and readily cross membranes and so can even bind to receptors in neuronal and cell nuclei
![Page 27: Sexual Behaviors](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814842550346895db55a30/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
1. organizational effects• critical window for organizational effects
(usually early in development)
![Page 28: Sexual Behaviors](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814842550346895db55a30/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
1. organizational effects• critical window for organizational effects
effects are usually permanent primary sexual characteristics
• structural AND CNS circuitry

2. Activational Effects• activating established circuits• effects are reversible and usually occur after
puberty• secondary sexual characteristics

genotypic sex vs phenotypic sex ◦ genotypic sex - determined at time of
fertilization
![Page 31: Sexual Behaviors](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814842550346895db55a30/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

23rd chromosome is sex chromosome
![Page 33: Sexual Behaviors](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814842550346895db55a30/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
phenotypic sex – ◦ what you see………
![Page 34: Sexual Behaviors](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814842550346895db55a30/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Y chromosome controls development of gonads
gonads – sex organs that releases steroid hormones (for males; testes for females; ovaries)
on Y chromosome is a gene - HY antigen ◦ if present- testes will develop ~ 6 weeks after
conception
![Page 35: Sexual Behaviors](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814842550346895db55a30/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Y chromosome controls development of gonads gonads – sex organs that releases steroid
hormones (for males; testes for females; ovaries)
on Y chromosome protein is produced- HY antigen ◦ if present testes will develop ~ 6 weeks after
conception◦ if not present – ovaries will develop
![Page 36: Sexual Behaviors](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814842550346895db55a30/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Y chromosome controls development of gonads gonads – sex organs that releases steroid
hormones (for males; testes for females; ovaries)
on Y chromosome is a gene - HY antigen ◦ if present testes will develop ~ 6 weeks after
conception◦ if not present – ovaries will develop
◦ up until that time a single “premordial” tissue is identical in male and females
![Page 37: Sexual Behaviors](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814842550346895db55a30/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
What if this gene inadvertently goes onto an X chromosome?◦ XX male – estimated 1 in 20,000
What if this gene is missing from a male?◦ XY female- estimated 1 in 20,000
![Page 38: Sexual Behaviors](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814842550346895db55a30/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
"Nature's impulse is to create a female“◦ in the absence of HY antigen (early) or male sex
hormones (later in prenatal development), the organism will develop as female
◦ male hormones (androgens like testosterone and dihydrotesterone) are necessary for undeveloped tissue to develop into male internal and external sex organs
![Page 39: Sexual Behaviors](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814842550346895db55a30/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
AIS – androgen insensitivity syndrome◦ a genetic abnormality whereby there are
androgen receptors but they do not respond to androgens
females – little body hair males – internal gonads – testes;
what after that? 1 in 65,000 males estimated
often diagnosed at puberty
![Page 40: Sexual Behaviors](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814842550346895db55a30/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
estimates 1 in 13,000 to 1 in 16,000 overactive adrenal gland releases excess
androgens diagnosed in females at birth – because of
ambiguous genitalia males not usually diagnosed at birth
![Page 41: Sexual Behaviors](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814842550346895db55a30/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
5 alpha reductase is the enzyme that produces the androgen DHT (dihydrotestosterone)
DHT is important (apparently) for the production of male external genitals
![Page 42: Sexual Behaviors](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814842550346895db55a30/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
guave doces; Dominican Republic◦ first reported in 1974
early cases – first raised as girls……… What does it say about biology vs vs
environment for determining human sex roles?
![Page 43: Sexual Behaviors](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814842550346895db55a30/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
intersex condition in which indvl born with ovarian and testicular tissue
can be one on one side; the other on the other or more often one or both gonads is an “ovotestis” containing both
very rare
can see XXY, XX/XY, XX XXY

CNS – clearly affected by both organizational and activational effects of steroid hormones
Rodents have been used to gain a tremendous amount of info about the role of organizational and activational effects of steroid hormones

In species that have multiple births; developing embryos can be affected by hormones from surrounding fetuses
![Page 48: Sexual Behaviors](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814842550346895db55a30/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)

so data from numerous species that bear multiple offspring at the same time, prenatal hormones can have an influence on later structures and behavior!
What about human conditions?
![Page 51: Sexual Behaviors](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814842550346895db55a30/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)

What are some alternative explanations?
![Page 53: Sexual Behaviors](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814842550346895db55a30/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)

What role does activational effects of T play on male sexual behavior?
![Page 55: Sexual Behaviors](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814842550346895db55a30/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
So organizational effects of steroid hormones are critical for setting up circuitry for behaviors that are “sexually dimorphic” and activational effects are critical for activating the circuits in lower animals –
![Page 56: Sexual Behaviors](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814842550346895db55a30/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
What role do activational effects of T play on male sexual behavior?
◦ in rats and lower species – obvious
◦ in humans – somewhat less obvious but definitely still important
![Page 57: Sexual Behaviors](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814842550346895db55a30/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
McQuay◦ a former school bus driver in prison in TX for
sexually attacking a young boy (1989)◦ 1995 – as he approached parole asked state of TX
to be castrated; claimed he would repeat the crimes if not castrated attempted it himself in cell with a razor lots of people volunteered the money for the cost of
surgery
![Page 58: Sexual Behaviors](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814842550346895db55a30/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)

In a letter to the editor published in The Dallas Morning News on Sunday, McQuay said he expects to be released soon because of his clean disciplinary record.
"... I will be required to look for work and so forth, meaning I will be walking the streets of your city, your community, your neighborhoods," McQuay wrote.
"And without a doubt, there will be children around. You tell me what is likely to happen if I am not castrated before I am released.“

1996 – California became the first state to pass chemical castration law
![Page 64: Sexual Behaviors](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814842550346895db55a30/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
1996 – California became the first state to pass chemical castration law◦ requires chemical castration of any person found
guilty a 2nd time of specified sex offenses◦ Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Montana, Oregon,
Texas and Wisconsin followed shortly thereafter with similar laws
![Page 65: Sexual Behaviors](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814842550346895db55a30/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Depo-Provera –◦ lowers testosterone and resulting sex drive in
men◦ originally (and still used) as female contraceptive◦ most states say that repeat offenders may be
offered it as a condition for their parole
![Page 66: Sexual Behaviors](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814842550346895db55a30/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Danish study◦ 5 out of 117 castrated sex offenders relapsed
over an 18 year period, 1/10th of the rate of non castrated offenders
Depro-Provera cut recidivism rates of pedophiles in California, Texas, and some European countries using it.
Some studies suggest that recidivism falls to 5%; sexual fantasies are lessened

some may not be able to tolerate med◦ headaches, nausea, high blood pressure, possible
diabetes, gallstones, hypertension, increased risk of stroke, loss of bone density
some that have been on it for years must go off
