The sexual experience is unique to each individual, but sexual physiology has common feature (Sadock as quoted in Pillitteri, 2007)
In women Causes the clitoris to increase in size and mucoid fluid to appear on vaginal walls as lubrication. The vagina widens in diameter and increase in length The nipples become erect In men Penile erection occurs, as well as scrotal thickening and elevation of the testes In both sexes --- heart rate, RR, BP
2. Plateau Reached just before orgasm In the women The clitoris is drawn forward and retracts under the clitoral prepuce The lower part of the vagina becomes extremely congested (formation of the orgasmic platform) Increase nipples elevation
In the men The vasocongestion leads to distention of the penis Heart rate (100-175 beats per minute) RR ( 40 respirations per minute)
3. Orgasm Occurs when stimulation proceeds through the plateau stage to a point at which the body suddenly discharges accumulated sexual tension A vigorous contraction of muscles in the pelvic area expels or dissipates blood and fluid from the area of congestion Average number of contraction for the women is 8 to 15 contractions at interval of one every 0.8 seconds
In men Muscle contractions surrounding the seminal vessels and prostate project semen into the proximal urethra Followed immediately by 3 to 7 propulsive ejaculatory contractions, occurring at the same interval as in the women, which force semen from the penis
Orgasm is usually experienced as intense pleasure affecting the whole body, not just the pelvic area
4. Resolution Is the period during which the external and internal genital orgasm return to an unaroused state For the male, a refractory period occurs during which further orgasm is impossible For women, they do not go through this refractory period, so it is possible for women who are interested and properly stimulated to have additional orgasm immediately after the first The resolution period usually takes 30 minutes for both sexes
