The Sexual Response - The Female Response

The Response Cycle: An Observed Pattern, not a Norm

1. Excitement

Some general observations
Not only men but also women can become sexually aroused very suddenly, and some of them may experience one or more orgasms within a few minutes. As a matter of fact, there are women who reach orgasm fifteen to thirty seconds after they begin sexual intercourse.
It seems, however, that during the first stages of arousal women are more easily distracted than men and depend more on continued direct physical stimulation. For this reason, many females seem to need a longer time to reach orgasm during coitus than their male partners, whose excitement is often sustained and increased by psychological factors.
In general, females are less easily stimulated by mere sights and sounds, or by erotic fantasies and anticipations. On the other hand, when the average woman is able to concentrate on her preferred method of stimulation (during masturbation, for instance), she achieves orgasm just as quickly as the average man.
