Evidence Against Involvement of Endorphins in Sexual Arousal and Orgasm in Man

Avram Goldstein, MD; Ralph W. Hansteen, PhD

Arch Gen Psychiatry. 1977;34(10):1179-1180.


Abstract

• In a double-blind study, intravenous injection of naloxone, at a dose sufficient to saturate the opiate (endorphin) receptors, had no effect on sexual arousal, penile erection, ejaculation, or orgasm in a human subject. Apparently, endorphins are not involved in these phenomena.
