what are the two basic physiological processes that our during the EXCITEMENT stage of the sexual response cycle
- vasodilation/constriction: where there is engorgement of blood vessels of the genitals as a result of dilation of the blood vessels
- Myotonia: muscle contractions not only in the genitals but all throughout the body
describe phase three “ORGASM” in the sexual response cycle
peak of sexual pleasure where there is a release of sexual pleasure and the rhythmic contraction of the perinatal muscles and the pelvic reproductive organs
it typically will last from 3-25 seconds

3-25 seconds
orgasm:peak of sexual pleasure where there is a release of sexual pleasure and the rhythmic contraction of the perinatal muscles and the pelvic reproductive organs
what is phase 4 “RESOLUTION” of the sexual response cycle
