Different physiological components involved in sexual response. Occur in response to different types of sexual activity. Getting ready to welcome penis into body and make penetration a little more comfortable: myotonia; muscle tension during sexual response. Increase in muscular tension throughout the body: peak of muscle tension is at orgasm, facial expressions that come with it are normal. It also feels really good to both partners as certain parts tighten, and others loosen. Breasts may swell: nipple erection, sex flush. Increases in heart rate, blood pressure, and muscle tension. Further increases in all events of excitement phase.
