Abstract

Highlights: [•] SCH 23390 (D1 antagonist) blocks the conditioned place preference induced by ejaculation. [•] SCH 23390 does not modify locomotion and have a transient effect on sexual behavior. [•] SCH 23390 affects only the first coital interaction. [•] SKF 38393 (D1 agonist) induces a conditioned place preference and it is blocked by SCH 23390. [•] Our results suggest that dopamine is involved in the sexual reward induced by ejaculation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
