Phases of Sexual Response
- The Plateau Phase of the sexual response is characterized by a sudden rise in blood supply to the surface of the body, resulting in increased skin temperature and swelling of body parts.
- During the Plateau Phase, the body prepares for orgasm by increasing muscular tension, heart rate, and blood pressure.
- The main characteristic of the Sexual Climax phase is the release of built-up sexual tension, resulting in intense pleasure and muscular contractions.
- The Sexual Climax phase typically lasts between 3-15 seconds.
- After the Sexual Climax phase, the body enters the Resolution phase, characterized by a return to a state of relaxation, with a decrease in heart rate, blood pressure, and muscle tension.
