  1. Sexual Arousal and Response

  2. Critical thinking • Assume that PL-6983 has genuine aphrodisiac qualities. What possible benefits might be associated with its use? • What abuses might arise? • Would you consider using an aphrodisiac? • If so, under what conditions?

  3. What causes people to: • Not want sex? • Physical • Psychological • Social • Want sex? • Physical • Psychological • Social

  4. Visual stimulation • Self report = men respond more than women • Physiologically = both men and women have similar responses

  5. Decrease in sexual desire • Silence during sexplay • (decreases arousal) • Birth control pills • Blood pressure medication • Antidepressant medication • Antihypertensive medication • Tranquilizers • High nicotine cigarettes

  6. Basic physiological arousal responses • Vasocongestion • Orgasmic platform • Engorgement of outer third of vagina during plateau phase • Erection in men • Mytonia • Muscular spasms during orgasm • Uterine contractions

  7. Vasocongestion • Female Stage #1

  8. Vasocongestion • Female Stage #2

  9. Vasocongestion • Female Stage #3

  10. Female Vasocongestion

  11. Sexual response models • Helen Kaplan’s modes • Masters and Johnson’s model

  12. Helen Kaplan’s model • Desire • Excitement • Orgasm

  13. Master’s & Johnson’s model • Excitement • Plateau • Orgasm • Resolution • Refractory period • Male only

  14. Excitement

  15. Plateau

  16. Orgasm Male & female descriptions of orgasm are indistinguishable

  17. Resolution

  18. Response differences between the sexes • Greater variability in female response • Male refractory period • Lack of this= multiple orgasms for women • Males • may have pre-ejaculatory orgasms followed by final orgasm

  19. Grafenberg Spot (G-spot) • Upper wall of vagina • Possible remnant of prostate tissue • Sometimes results in ejaculation from urethra • Ejaculate fluid is similar to male prostate secretions

  20. Aging and sexual response • Women • Decreased vaginal lubrication • KY or” Slippery Stuff” • Decrease in length & width of vagina • Decrease in number of orgasmic contractions • “Use it or loose it” The more active you are, the more active you stay.

  21. Aging & sexual response (cont.) • Men • Longer time to get erection • Increased control • Reduced mytonia • Reduced testicle elevation

  22. Cross cultural sexual arousal • Healthy skin, hair, & teeth are universally attractive • Oral sex viewed as unnatural or disgusting in many cultures • Sexual frequency varies by culture
