Brain areas activated during sexual arousal

Brain areas activated during sexual arousal to allow: (1) continued focus on sexual stimuli, imaging of sexual behavior, evaluation/censorship, and limitation or prevention of actual behavior despite arousal (all constituting a cognitive component of arousal); (2) sexual feelings (an emotional component); (3) anticipation of reward (a motivational component); and (4) an autonomic/ neuroendocrine response of physical sexual arousal.
