Studied the sexual behavior of gonadectomized adult rhesus macaques given no hormonal treatment, treated with estradiol benzoate (EB; 20 μg/day), or treated with testosterone propionate (TP; 10 mg/day). Six experimentally produced female pseudohermaphrodites, 9 long-term castrated males, and 7 ovariectomized females were given 36 pair tests of 10-min duration with 6 ovariectomized, estrogen-primed female partners. 12 tests were given under each treatment condition. Yawning was the only behavior that showed a significant effect across treatments for hermaphrodites and females; the yawning rate was greater with TP treatment. The number of tests during which hermaphrodites showed erections increased significantly under TP treatment. Only one hermaphrodite mounted, but none achieved intromission or ejaculated. Males displayed several significant treatment effects, including increased mounting, intromitting, and ejaculating frequencies under TP treatment. EB had little effect on any of the behaviors in any group. Rates of aggression and grimacing were greater among hermaphrodites than among males and females. Males displayed significantly greater rates of sexual behavior than hermaphrodites or females. As infants and juveniles, these hermaphrodites had displayed social and sexual behaviors characteristic of males; however, as mature adults, their behavior and responsiveness to TP at a dose capable of activating a high level of sexual behavior in castrated males gave little evidence of masculinization.(27 ref)(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
