In human primates, steroid hormones, particularly estrogen and testosterone, can influence the patterning/timing and expression of sexual behaviors in females (and to some extent, their partners), as well as mediating sexual desire (motivation). Support this statement by describing the patterns of results from studies of human sexual behavior, indicating the activating effects of the hormones studied. The effects of both estrogen and testosterone should be addressed explicitly – do not just mention "hormones" in your responses. Also, according to Cappelletti and Wallen (2016), what role do these hormones have in mediating sexual desire in women? In addressing this, describe one problem associated with studying the clinical outcomes of the effects of testosterone administration.

Cappelletti and Wallen (2016) criticized the commercial promotion of testosterone-replacement therapy for women who had undergone hysterectomies and/or ovariectomies in order to restore sexual motivation and behavior. One of their criticisms was that: estrogen was the sole hormone that could restore sexual motivation and behavior, not testosterone. The doses required to be effective were much larger than those that were found naturally (in control group women or those who had not undergone surgeries). Human female sexual motivation and behavior were unrelated to circulating hormone levels or concentrations. The side effects of hormone replacement therapies were far greater than the benefits produced.
