The pharmaceutical industry has, over the past decade, renewed it's interest in the search for sexually enhancing drugs, mainly with a view to finding pharmacological agents which might prove useful in the clinical management of sexual problems. An additional issue, of increasing importance, is the occurrence of sexual side effects from modern pharmacological treatments. The likelihood of finding a drug which predictably enhances sexual response in humans remains unclear. The animal data outlined in this proceedings show us that brain mechanisms relevant to sexuality are also involved in other types of appetitive behaviour, and whether there is a specific pharmacology of sexual function remains a key question. For the above mentioned symposium, some of the principal researchers in both the animal and human fields of sexual pharmacology were brought together. The interaction between them, found in the edited discussions of this publication, adds a useful dimension to their individual papers.
