There is reason to believe that many children have misconceptions about the CPS and are afraid to talk to the social workers who investigates if there is reason to be concerned about a child’s well-being. The aim of the study was to investigate ...

    • Sexual incentive motivation, sexual behavior, and general arousal: Do rats and humans tell the same story? 

      Ågmo, Anders j; Laan, Ellen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-26)
      Sexual incentive stimuli activate sexual motivation and heighten the level of general arousal. The sexual motive may induce the individual to approach the incentive, and eventually to initiate sexual acts. Both approach and the ensuing copulatory interaction further enhance general arousal. We present data from rodents and humans in support of these assertions. We then suggest that orgasm is ...
