arousal and facilitation or attainment of orgasm are responsive to and contingent on the
sensations produced by small creatures like snails, frogs, ants, or other insects

lobe of the pituitary gland that stimulates sperm formation in the testis, and the
formation of the graafian follicle and the secretion of estrogen from the ovary. It is
