- Essential for reproduction and species development
- Generates sperm in males, eggs in females
- Hormones (estrogen, testosterone) crucial for secondary sex characteristics
- Understanding own body and sexual health leads to healthier relationships and better decision-making (consent and safety)
Erogenous Zones
- Sensitive body areas leading to sexual arousal when stimulated
- Common examples: lips, mouth, neck, ears, breasts, nipples, inner thighs
Human Sexual Response Cycle (Masters and Johnson)
- Describes changes in the body during sexual arousal
- Four main phases:
- Excitement: Body prepares for sexual activity (e.g., erection, nipple tightening, increased respiration)
- Plateau: Intensifies responses from excitement phase (e.g., rapid breathing, high blood pressure)
- Orgasm: Intense phase ("climax") with intense physical sensations
- Resolution: Body returns to normal functioning (fatigue)
