What is the role of amygdalae in sexuality?

What will be an ideal response?


The amygdala is very important for forming associations between inputs and outputs; that is, it helps attach meaning to stimuli. Therefore, sexual and other stimuli can become associated with different incentives but also with aversive stimuli, and these connections can shape sexual behavior. Therefore, amygdalae can influence the appearance of an oversensitive threat response or attachment to sexual stimuli.
