scientifically measured sexual response in men and women |
|
|
What are the Phases of Sexual Response proposed by Masters and Johnson? |
-Excitement phase
-Plateau phase
-Orgasm phase
-Resolution |
|
|
What is the Excitement phase of sexual response according to M&J? |
within the very first few seconds of this phase, a man's penis becomes erect. Women experience vaginal lubrication, which is a "sweating" on the vaginal walls. |
|
|
What is the Plateau phase of sexual response according to M&J? |
Both men and women experience an increase in heart rate, blood pressure, and rate of breathing. Involuntary muscle tension occurs; this is what gives us the "toe curling" feelings of muscle intensity during sex. |
|
|
What is the Orgasm phase according to M&J? |
This phase involves the sudden release of the muscle tension and blood engorgement that has occurred in the penis 9males) and labia (females). The intensity of orgasms varies from one sex act to another, and is influenced by how recent and how often intercourse or masturbation has taken place. |
|
|
What is Resolution according to M&J? |
In both men and women, the heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration return to pre-excitement levels. The penis returns to its flaccid state. Men experience a refractory period, when they are incapable of achieving an erection. The length of the refractory period is directly associated with age and other factors such as health and lifestyle habits. Women do not experience refractory periods and are capable of multiple orgasms if they are effectively stimulated. |
|
|
What happens during the excitement phase of female Sexual response? |
-vaginal lubrication -vagina expands -vasocongestion - (filling w/ blood) - labia minora expand -clitoris becomes erect -nipples harden -myotonia (muscle tension) begins |
|
|
What happens during the plateau phase of female sexual response? |
-increase in heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration
-sex flush occurs
-myotonia increases |
|
|
What happens during the orgasm phase of female sexual response? |
-sudden release of vasocongestion and myotonia that occurred during excitement and plateau
-intensity may vary |
|
|
What happens during the resolution phase of the female sexual response? |
-sexual response pattern is reversed as the heart rate, blood pressure and respiration return to pre-excitement levels |
|
|
What happens during the excitement phase of the male sexual response? |
-erection of the penis occurs
-heart rate, blood pressure and respiration all increase
-vasocongestion and myotonia occur |
|
|
What happens during the Plateau phase of the male sexual response? |
-sexual tension intensifies -testes become elevated against the body -sexual flush on the chest, face, and neck occur |
|
|
What happens during the orgasm phase of the male sexual response? |
-vasocongestion and myotonia are released
-ejaculation is closely timed with orgasm |
|
|
What two processes does ejaculation have and what happens during each process? |
1. emission - seminal fluid passes through the urethra
2. expulsion - seminal fluid is ejected in 3-4 intervals |
|
|
What happens during the resolution phase of the male sexual response? |
-the penis decreases in size -muscle tension and sex flush disappear -the scrotum and testes return to pre-excitement states |
