Question

Male and Female Sexual Response Models

Studies shows that Masters and Johnson's four phase model of sexual response listed above 10,000 cycles of sexual arousal and orgasm in a period of twelve years to arrive at a conclusion about a model of sexual response. In this model, there are four successive phases to the sexual response cycle.

• Based on your understanding about this model, compare the phases of this model to the following:
  • Kaplan's triphasic model of sexual response
  • Loulan's sexual response model
• Why was Masters and Johnson's four phase model so controversial? Johnson argued that sexual problems are not the result of underlying neurosis or personality disorders, but are an outcome of lack of information, poor communication, or conflict between partners. Do you agree or disagree and why?
• Which model, according to you, is the most accurate model that describes the human sexual response? Why?

Answer 1

ANSWER :
The response cycle is about changes in physiological and emotional sexual activities. The person's emotions changed when participating in sexual activities such as intercourse and masturbation etc. In this model, there are different phases of sexual activities.
This model has four phases:
The excitement phase:

In this phase, the muscle tension increased.
Heart rate increased
The skin may be flushed
Plateau phase:
Vigina gets swell.
Private part of the body become highly sensitive
Orgasm phase:
The involuntary contraction in muscles occurs.
Resolution phase:
This is the last phase. In this phase person body return to its normal phase. This phase enhances fatigue. Male need a recovery time after the resolution or orgasm which is called the refractory period.
