The Sexual Response - Stimulus and Response

The Basic Pattern: Sources of Sexual Stimulation

Individual Differences
Even the physiological reactions are never exactly identical in any two persons or even in the same person on different occasions. People are not machines built on the same assembly line. Any general description of the human sexual response can be only just that - general. The specific responses of a particular individual are bound to show some individual variation. (For example, it is very well possible for some men to experience orgasm and to ejaculate with a limp penis.)

The following summaries of the female and male sexual response should, therefore, not be considered a norm or an ideal of physical performance toward which everybody must strive.

 Its only purpose is to shed some light on a previously mysterious subject and to provide men and women with some elementary knowledge of certain body functions.
