Masters and Johnson

Masters and Johnson, a marred couple, developed a 4-phase sexual response cycle. Based on a common physiological or physical sequence men and women experiece when having sexual relations.

Two Definitions:
* Vasocongestion- refers to the filling or enlargement of the genital area.
*Myotonia- refers to muscle tension

4-Phase Sexual Response Cycle:

1) Excitement
Men- penis erects, testes enlarge and elevate
Women- Lubrication, erection of clitoris, breasts increase in size and elevate.
Both- mytonia, increased heart rate and increased blood pressure.

2) Plateau
Men- Testes further elevated into position for ejaculation, Cowper`s Gland secrets a few drops of viable semen.
Women- Outer one-third contracts, inner two-thirds expands, uterus increases in size and elevates, clitoris withdraws or disappears.

3)Orgasmic
Men- Contractions to gather semen in place for ejaculation, relaxation of the Sphincter muscle to allow release o fluid.
Women- 3-15 contractions in the plevic muscles around the vaginal barrel and uterus leading to a release.
Both- Body spasms, increas in heart rate and breathing rate.

4) Reolution
Men- Blood withdraws from genitals, penis relaxes.
Women- Release of blood in genitals and breasts.
Both- Muscular tension releases.

**After experiencing the 4 phases, Men need a resolution. Women are capable of multiple cycles without a resolution**

**If orgasm doesn`t occur then it takes longer to return to phase 1 which could cause `Blue Balls`**

**Resolution time depends on the age of the person**
