Sexual Dysfunction

  • Sexual Behavior in Male and Female Rats
    If male rats are tested with an estrus female they display mounts, intromissions and ejaculations in a certain temporal distribution. Female sexual arousal is measured by receptive responses of the female to the male mounting. The well established quantitative measure, the lordosis quotient (LQ) is the percent of mounts on which the female sexual behavior, lordosis, occurs. Drugs can be tested to determine their effects (beneficial or detrimental) on the latency and frequency of these male and female sexual behaviors.
