Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Truly feminine consciousness of gender identity, normal extragenital erotogenic sensitivity, suppressed or very reduced clitoris sensitivity and reaction, normal reaction of the labia minora and the vagina which deepens with the renewal of intercourse, realization of pleasure climax without clonicotonic orgasm and followed by resolution, and a normal maternal attitude seem to characterize sexual behavior in a complete or almost complete testicular feminization syndrome. These features allow one to clearly distinguish, without ignoring multiple psychologic mechanisms, the factors related to androgens and to estrogens in normal feminine sexual behavior.
