The frontal lobes of the brain are the most important part when it comes to deciding what you should do based on your morals and culture in whatever situation you may find yourself in. sex offenders (including rapists, and serial killers) report a greater appetite for sexually explicit and violent material, when interviewed.Īnother explanation may be in how the brain functions when damaged. As we all know, males are more interested in sex than women, especially adolescent males (due to their evolutionary predisposition to "spread their seed").

Sex has been connected to aggression, violence, and murder in many ways and has been proven to be a viable correlation in many experiments. In the most primitive part of a male's brain (in both humans and animals) the amygdala and the frontal cortex work to regulate aggression and sexual impulses. In fact, most violent criminals tend to be young males with a higher than average amount of testosterone and a lower than average level of serotonin (which stimulates calmness, most anti-depressants stimulate production of serotonin in the brain).Īlso, evolution contributes to man's aggressive tendencies. Females have testosterone but not nearly as much. Testosterone is a male hormone that increases aggressive behavior and stimulates the development of the male sex organs. When males are in the fetal stage they receive a much higher dose of testosterone than females. It's a lot less bias than just saying men are stronger than women and women can talk out their feelings better.įirst off, the way the male brain interprets stimuli is much different than the way the female brain interprets stimuli. This is what I got from another person who was relating what the text book reasoning behind the difference between male to female serial killer ratio may be. Trust me, if you were a 6'4" 250 pound muscular man and I really wanted to kill you, I would find a way, despite that I am a 5'3" "weak" female. Hypothetically, the reason why there are more male serial killers than female, has nothing to do with the fact that women can talk out their feelings better, or that one is stronger naturally than the other.
