Sexual Arousal and Response
Visual stimulation Self report = men respond more than
women Physiologically = both men and women
have similar responses
What can cause you to not want sex? Silence during sex play
(decreases arousal) Birth control pills Blood pressure medication Antidepressant medication Antihypertensive medication
Tranquilizers High nicotine cigarettes
Basic physiological arousal responses Vasocongestion
Orgasmic platform Engorgement of outer third of vagina during
plateau phase Erection in men
Mytonia Muscular spasms during orgasm Uterine contractions
Vasocongestion Female Stage #1
Vasocongestion Female Stage #2
Vasocongestion Female Stage #3
Female Vasocongestion
Sexual response models Helen Kaplan’s modes Masters and Johnson’s model
Helen Kaplan’s model Desire Excitement Orgasm
Master’s & Johnson’s model Excitement Plateau Orgasm Resolution Refractory period
Male only
Excitement
Plateau
Orgasm
Male & female descriptions of orgasm are indistinguishable
Resolution
Response differences between the sexes Greater variability in female response Male refractory period
Lack of this= multiple orgasms for women Males may have pre-ejaculatory orgasms
followed by final orgasm
Grafenberg Spot (G-spot) Upper wall of vagina Possible remnant of
prostate tissue Sometimes results
in ejaculation from urethra Ejaculate fluid is
similar to male prostate secretions
Aging and sexual response Women
Decreased vaginal lubrication KY or” Slippery Stuff”
Decrease in length & width of vagina Decrease in number of orgasmic
contractions
Aging & sexual response (cont.) Men
Longer time to get erection Erection goes away faster Increased control Reduced mytonia Reduced testicle elevation Less ejaculate Lower force of ejaculation
Use it or lose it! The more active you are during your
life, the longer you will remain sexually active.
