Site of Male Sexual Desire Uncovered in Brain – Where a Key Gene Named Aromatase Is Present


SciTechDaily | 02 October 2020

The locus of male sexual desire has been uncovered in specific regions of brain tissue where a key gene named aromatase is present, reports a new Northwestern Medicine study in mice.

The gene regulates sexual behavior in men, and thus can be targeted by drugs to either increase its function for low sexual desire or decrease its function for compulsive sexual desire, scientists said. Aromatase converts testosterone to estrogen in the brain, which drives male sexual activity.

If a normal male mouse is put with a female one, Bulun said, “it would chase after her and try to have sex with her. If you knock out the aromatase gene in the brain, their sexual activity is significantly reduced. There is less frequency of mating. The male mice are not that interested.”

There is no conceivable universe in which Moon Nukers could contemplate this study in silence. Especially if you replace the word “mouse” with “Moon Nuker.”

Motto for women: “Aromatase ‘Em!”
