Sexual response refers to the physiological and psychological changes that occur in the body during sexual arousal and activity. This process typically involves four phases: excitement, plateau, orgasm, and resolution. Each phase is characterized by specific bodily responses, such as increased heart rate, muscle tension, and changes in blood flow to the genitals. The sexual response cycle is influenced by various factors, including emotional state, physical health, and relationship dynamics. Understanding this cycle can help individuals and couples enhance their sexual experiences and address any challenges they may face in their sexual lives.
