The primary motivation for sexual behaviors in nonhuman animals is reproduction. In humans, sexual motivation seems more complex. Describe the pioneering research of William Masters and Virginia Johnson on the physiology of the sexual response,
and then summarize the view of evolutionary psychologists with respect to mating behaviors. Finally, what has research told us about the nature and nurture of homosexuality?
What will be an ideal response?
