The neurobiology of the male sexual refractory period

Publication date: September 2018Source: Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, Volume 92Author(s): Curtis A. SeizertAbstractDespite having been recognized for many years, the mechanisms governing the male sexual refractory period (post-ejaculatory refractory period, post-ejaculatory interval) remain poorly understood. This review examines the brain and spinal areas putatively involved in this phenomenon to draw a coherent picture from the available data. It is hoped that this will reveal where further research will offer the potential for crucial insights on this topic.Graphical abstract
