Behavior is the ultimate arbiter: An alternative explanation for the inhibitory effect of fluoxetine on the ovulatory homolog model of orgasm in rabbits

Is BDSM in the eye of the beholder? Variations in Conventional and non-Conventional Sexual Behaviors by Self-Identification vs. BDSM Practice Frequency in the General Population

“…Interestingly, it also invites to consider the identi cation rami cations of this for non-identi ed BDSM people by virtue of performing these behaviors. Whereas who we are sexually is a complex orchestration of one' sex, gender, sexual orientation, attraction, interest, lust, roles and if these switches, the community or culture with which we feel identi ed sexually (Moser, 2016;Quintana & Pfaus, 2024; van Anders, 2015), ultimately how people behave or not, and the context in which these are performed, are the ultimate arbiter (see Quintana, Mac Cionnaith, et al, 2019).…”

Can Orgasms Be Disentangled Into Their Parts? A Response to McKenna (2021)

“…However, they had a fair amount of vaginocervical stimulation (i.e., > 20 intromissions), while sadly no histological stats were offered to compare the Fos-IR magnitude of the differences among groups. Therefore, whereas those studies provide an anatomical and functional insight on a somewhat common mechanism in both sexes, leaving behavior outside of the equation vastly limits its interpretation and extrapolation from animals to humans, specially when talking about orgasms (Quintana et al, 2019). It also impedes the evaluation of the orgasmlike responses (OLR) which allow us to make inferences from behavior and the consequences of experiencing sexual pleasure (e.g., conditioned preferences; Pfaus et al, 2016b).…”
