Document Summary
Sexual response cycle: 3 stages: excitement, orgasm, resolution, 2 physio processes involved= vasocongestion and myotonia, vasocongestion= a lot of blood in the vessels of the genitals because of dilation, myotonia= muscles contract throughout entire body. All female orgasms are same physiologically- consists of contractions of the orgasmic platform and muscles surrounding vagina: clitoral stimulation is always involved in orgasm even in intercourse. The crura of clitoris runs deep and is stimulated by penile penetration, usually clitoris triggers the orgasm: multiple orgasms possible in short period of time for women because no refractory period. If stimulation continues she can immediately be aroused and have another orgasm. More likely to result from hand-genital or mouth-genital stimulation than intercourse. Can have 5-20 during masturbation: multiple orgasmic men exist but rare. Erogenous zones: sexually sensitive parts of our body, genitals and breasts, lips, neck, thighs, unlikely regions are back, ears, stomach and feet.
