“…A decrease in sexual motivation could be related to a deficiency in dopamine, as this neurotransmitter is involved in the processing of the appetitive, motivational and rewarding aspects of sexual activity (Damsma, Pfaus, Wenkstern, Phillips, & Fibiger, ; Everitt, ; Fiorino, Coury, & Phillips, ; López & Ettenberg, ; Wenkstern, Pfaus, & Fibiger, ). In our work, this does not seem to be the case because concentrations of toluene similar to ours increase dopamine content (Rivera‐García, López‐Rubalcava, & Cruz, ) and release (Koga, Higashi, Kawahara, & Ohsumi, ; Stengård, Höglund, & Ungerstedt, ) in the mesolimbic system of rats. The idea that sexual motivation was not compromised in our experimental subjects is reinforced by the fact that toluene‐treated sexually experienced animals exhibited a high number of mounts prior to the first intromission, evidencing their interest in the sexual interaction, even in the absence of the penile sensory stimulation from an intromission (Carro‐Juárez, Cervantes, Cervantes‐Méndez, & Rodríguez‐Manzo, ).…”
