Key Concepts

Sexual Response Cycle

The sexual response cycle refers to the sequence of physical and psychological changes that occur during sexual activity. It is typically divided into distinct phases that help in understanding how sexual arousal develops and culminates in orgasm, and how the body returns to its resting state.

Masters and Johnson Model

Masters and Johnson developed a pioneering framework for understanding human sexual response. Their research identified observable stages of sexual activity and provided the basis for subsequent studies on sexual physiology and therapy.

Plateau Phase

The plateau phase is one of the key stages in the sexual response cycle where sexual arousal is sustained at a high level just before orgasm. This stage involves the intensification of arousal and is critical in building the tension necessary for climax.
