He developed stages in which the libido, or sex drive, was attracted to different zones. In each of the zones, built up sexual tension is able to be released. The first stage is the oral stage and relates to the child’s pleasure in nursing from their mothers breast. The second stage is the anal stage. This relates to the pleasure a toddler receives by controlling their bowels and releasing their bladder. The third stage is the phallic stage and is when the child explores the pleasure of their genitals. The fourth and final stage is the latency stage. In this last stage the sexual feelings of the child are…

This concept really hit home for me being a women who struggles with sexual desire. It was easier to understand how I think about things and it help me feel “normal”. Dr. Nagoski writes “According to the dual control model, arousal is really two processes: activating the accelerator and deactivating the brakes. So your level of sexual arousal at any given moment is the product of how much stimulation the accelerator is getting and how little stimulation the brakes are getting.” (pg. 51). This really complicated idea of sexual desire is boiled down into layman’s terms to help understand how the body works. Besides the idea of these two concepts, she discusses the ideas of people experiencing high and low of each accelerator and brake. Some people have high accelerators, which means they tend to be risk takers and have more desires. While some people have high breaks, which means they see many different reasons not to listen to the accelerator. I enjoyed learning about this concept to deepen my understanding on how my own thoughts…

The sexual response cycle is a Masters and Johnson’s model of sexual response which consists of four stages or phases. This model is founded on the theory that male and female sexual stimulation- their sexual response cycles- are very similar with obvious differences due to physical make up. The four phases are the excitement phase (initial phase for male and female), plateau phase, orgasmic phase, and the resolution phase. The phases fall in sequence from the beginning of stimulation up toward the peak of climax and back down to levels of prior stimulation.…

The changes and responses that occur in the body of both men and women when sexually aroused are referred to as the sexual response cycle. The sexual response cycle is divided into four separate phases which include excitement, plateau, orgasm, and resolution. These changes are similar for both men and women. According to Nevid and Rathus (2005), each phase is characterized by vasocongestion and myotonia. Vasocongestion is the swelling of the genital tissues with blood, and myotonia is the muscle tension associated with sexual arousal. Although the changes are similar, there are some differences in the way these changes affect men and women.…
Testosterone is the most important representative of the male sex hormones collectively called androgens. Using cholesterol as a base, the male gonads (testes) produce between 4 and 10 mg of testosterone per day. Testosterone itself is responsible for three major functions in animals.…
Orgasm is not only necessary for procreation, it is also essential for the health and well being of men. Many studies have proven the positive effect of male orgasm on not only the physical health of a man, but their psychological fitness as well. The age at which a typical male will have their first orgasm varies, as does the experience that they describe, but one common experience they all report is the elation that they feel after an orgasm is reached. A great stress relief, it is an important aspect to their daily lives. It is possible to experience a male orgasm without ejaculation only further giving evidence that the real benefit of male orgasm is not always found in its necessity to recreate life.…
3) In the morning you "last" 90 seconds, and in the evening you "last" 10 minutes. This is most likely a reflection of numerous forces acting in concert: serum testosterone (energizes your penis) is at its peak just before you wake up; dinner might be competing with blood flow to the penis; alcohol, stress, tiredness all interfere with sexual response, etc.…
Two researchers in the area of human sexuality are William Masters and Virginia Johnson. Masters and Johnson conducted studies beginning in the 1950's. They wanted to learn more about what physically happened to the body during sexual arousal and activity. Through their research, they determined that there are at least four different stages that someone goes through from the beginning of arousal to the time after orgasm. These phases, in order, are excitement, plateau, orgasmic, and resolution. Both men and women go through these stages, however the timing is usually different. I will discuss this more later, but please keep in mind as you read my essay that there is much variety from person to person in the amount of time spent in each phase and how each person responds in each phase.…
