Dr. Frederick Toates: How sexual desire works

How sexual desire works.
The range of sexual desires and behaviour is vast (e.g. fetishes, voyeurism, exhibitionism, pornography, addictive and violent desire). Trying to understand this can be daunting. This talk will argue that considerable insight can be gained by seeing how a few underlying component processes that are features of ‘normal desire’ can get out of normal alignment and contribute to such deviations from normal. The role of dopamine, learning and arousal will be discussed.

Events are free. Talk starts at 18:30. For more information please contact Chris Dack at chrisdack@blueyonder.co.uk or Madeleine Tremblett at m.tremblett@hotmail.co.uk
