How to Know Your Body is Aroused – 15

In which Lindsey talks about the different ways our bodies prepare for sex!

This episode is dedicated to my friend Heidi.

Here is a more comprehensive breakdown of what an arousal experience might include:

Excitement:
~Heart rate increases
~Breathing rate increases
~Blood pressure rises
~Nipples become erect (60%)
~Sex Flush (in 25% of males, 50-75% of females)
~Myotonia: muscle toning
~Testicles elevate
~Penis fills with blood, enlarges and becomes erect
~Scrotal skin thickens
~Vaginal lubrication
~Labia engorge with blood and change shape (flatten, spread apart, enlarge)
~Clitoris swells
~Vagina tents
~Cervix moves
~Vaginal walls thicken
~Blood vessels become more pronounced
~Breasts enlarge

Plateau:
~More vasocongestion
~Creation of the “orgasmic platform”
~Contractions to grasp penis
~More labial swelling
~Labia minora darkens in color
~Clitoris retracts beneath prepuce
~Uterus is pulled upward
~Vagina lengthens
~Bartholin’s glands lubricate the vagina
~Testicles increase in size and elevate
~Cowper’s gland secretes pre-ejaculate
~Urethra dilates
~Penis reaches the peak of tumescence
~Corona enlarges
