The Sexual Response Mechanism: Accelerator and Brakes
This chapter explores the concept of the sexual response mechanism in the brain, consisting of an excitatory system (accelerator) and an inhibitory system (brakes). It discusses how the accelerator notices sex-related information and sends a turn-on signal, while the brakes notice reasons not to be turned on and send a turn-off signal. The chapter also delves into common factors that overstimulate the brakes and hinder sexual arousal.
