|
Vasocongestion
|
blood vessels dilate, causing a great deal of blood to flow into a region such as the genitals
(erection in males/secretion in females) |
|
|
Myotonia
|
When muscles contract not only in the genitals but also through out the whole body
|
|
|
The Sexual Response Cycle Stages
(Masters and Johnson 1966) |
(Masters and Johnson 1966)
1. Excitement 2. Plateau 3. Orgasm 4. Resolution |
|
|
Bulbuspongiosus
|
The muscle around the entrance of the vagina that contracts, aka the orgasmic platform!
|
|
|
Orgasm
|
is a serious of rhythmic pelvic contractions at intervals of .8 seconds.
males; ejaculation females; feeling spreading from the clitoris and moves throughout out the whole pelvic area |
|
|
Refractory Period
|
a time in which men are incapable of being aroused after orgasm
|
|
|
Criticism of (Master and Johnson) The Sexual Response cycle
|
ignored what person may be thinking or feeling emotionally, desire and passion left out of the model, and excluded those whose patterns did not contain orgasm; thus, model cannot be generalized to the entire population
|
|
|
Kaplan's Triphasic Model of Sexual Response
|
independent phases
1. Sexual Desire 2. Vasocongestion of the genitals 3. Reflex muscular contractions of the orgasm phase |
|
|
Bancroft's Dual Control Model
|
Shows that sexual response is controlled by two 'processes':
1. Excitation- responding with arousal to sexual stimuli 2. Inhibition- inhibiting sexual arousal both processes can be adaptive or distractive early learning and culture are critical |
|
|
Postive vs. Negative Emotion
associated with arousal |
Both emotions involve a strong positive association with generalized thoughts of arousal
|
|
|
Retrograde Ejaculation
|
occurs when the ejaculate empties into the bladder rather than exiting the body through the tip of the penis
can be caused by some illnesses, tranquilizers, and drugs. When ejaculation is about to be reached an internal sphincter closes off the bladder and an outer opens allowing the seamen to exit the body. In this case, their roles are reversed |
|
|
Nervous System Control of Erection
|
sensory input of genitals and touch receptor sends conscious control of either inhibiting or facilitating sexual response from the brain down through the spinal chord to the "erection reflex center" in which the nerves produce the erection.
|
|
|
The G-Spot (The Grafenberg Spot or Skene's Gland)
|
located on the top side of the vagina, about half way between the pubic bone and the cervix; stroking it produces sexual pleasure
(on the orgasmic platform) |
|
|
Stem of sexual behavior
|
The Brain: either voluntary control or psychological forces such as fantasies.
Environment: teachings of sex affect ones response; having been taught that sex is dirty or sinful may lower ones pleasure during intercourse |
|
|
The Limbic System
|
consists of the Hippocampus, Pituarity Gland, Septal Region, Amygdala, and the Hypothalamus
(a set of structures that form a border between the central part of the brain and (outer part of the brain) the cerebral cortex. |
|
|
Organizing Effects
|
hormones cause a relatively permanent change in the nervous or reproductive systems in offspring passed on from parent; such as testosterone, estrogen, and libido increasing
|
|
|
Activating Effects
|
either activate or deactivate certain behaviors
|
|
|
Testosterone
|
sexual desire is rapidly lost if a man is given an anti androgen drug, but the drug is often successful in females who have low sexual desire
|
|
|
Pheromones
|
in animals; biochemicals secreted outside the body;some pheromones appear to be important in sexual communication and even attract
|
|
|
Menstrual Synchrony
|
the coverage over several months of the dates of onset of menstrual period among women who are in close contact with each other (Mother-Daughter/regular friends)
|
|
|
Erogenous Zones
|
Parts of the body that are sexually sensitive; stroking, caressing, or stimulating in some way can produce sexual arousal.
(can be parts other than genitals that carries from person to person) |
|
|
Autoeroticism
|
on-person sex/sexual self-stimulation, aka masturbation, with hand or some other object.
|
|
|
Sexual Fantasy

often involve no real world connection; men's tend to focus on sexual activity as women's tend to focus on playing a role during sex- relationship to the partner is key

|
|
|
Supercision
|
making a slit in the length of the foreskin on the top but leaving it intact
|
|
|
Subincision
|
making a slit on the lower side of the penis along its entire length; urine is then excreted at the base rather than at the tip
|
|
|
Scrotom
|

|
|
|
Gonads
