HETEROEROTIC
Is the insertion of the penis to the
vaginal orifice. Humans can assume two
positions in the process. More common is
the ventral-ventral position (ventris:
abdomen). Alternatively, a ventral-dorsal
position (dorsum: back).
Copulation
wherein the male and the female species are facing each other.
VENTRAL-VENTRAL POSITION
wherein the abdome of the male species is facing the dorsum of the female species, such that
insertion of the penis to the vagina is from behind.
VENTRAL-DORSAL POSITION
Both the human male and female
undergoes a sequence of bodily changes
which prepare them for the sexual climax.
This sequence of changes is referred to as
sexual response cycle.
Masters and Johnson (1966, 1970) proposed that there are four phases in the
cycle:
EXCITEMENT, PLATEAU, ORGASM, RESOLUTION
This is the first phase in the cycle.
Excitement
This phase is characterized by sustained peak in
stimulation of the organs.
Plateau
is the climax of the sexual response
cycle.
Orgasm
the male penis return to its normal
unerected phase, whereas the testes and the scrotum
descend. In the human female, the outer and the inner
reproductive organ also relax.
Resolution
Unlike Master and Johnson’s model, Kaplan’s model (1979) sees
sexual response cycle as having relatively independent stages.
DESIRE
AROUSAL
ORGASM
is the psychological component of the sexual
response. It involves sexual thoughts and feelings,
which are necessary for satisfying a sexual
experience.
Desire
It is the psychological component of the
sexual response, wherein bodily changes
occur as an outcome of sexual stimulation.
Arousal
in Kaplan’s model is generally
similar with that of the Masters and
Johnson model, except that this phase
also include the Resolution phase. In
Kaplan’s model, — is the
completion of the sexual response.
Orgasm
Some people experience difficulty or
problems in some of the sexual
phases.
