Abstract
The present study tested whether the topical application of a local anesthetic (Lidocaine) to the vaginocervical region altered the pattern of paced mating behavior displayed by gonadectomized, hormone-primed female rats. Both rats receiving Lidocaine and rats receiving vehicle exhibited the expected lengthening of contact-return latency as the intensity of the mating stimuli increased (mount<intromission<ejaculation). Although rats given Lidocaine versus vehicle received a greater number of intromissions, no other group differences were observed. The present study found no evidence for a change in behavioral responsiveness following the vaginocervical application of Lidocaine.Entities:
