		The next phase of sexual response is called sexual arousal or excitement (often called feeling horny).
		As the level of sexual arousal increases in females, vaginal lubrication begins, the inner 2/3 of the vagina expands, the outer lips of the vulva open, the inner lips enlarge, and the clitoris swells.
		Arousal intensifies, and sexual and muscular tension increases.

	Sexual Definitions
		In males, the excitation phase is a combination of the arousal phase and excitation phase and directly leads to orgasm.
		In females, the excitation phase is very prolonged, and multiple orgasms are possible without returning to the flaccid (unaroused) state as in the male.
		As the clitoris enlarges and becomes more erect during the arousal phase, the clitoral hood is elevated and this places the labia minora on a tension.

		The next phase is called the "Arousal Phase" or the "Excitement Phase" which takes place once a person already is involved with the person with whom they wish to have sex.
		For both men and women, there are whole body changes during this phase (such as increase in breathing rate, increase in pulse rate, and a general feeling of building sexual tension).
		The final phase, "Resolution" takes place as the body returns to its normal state (the pulse and breathing rate return to normal, and other body changes that took place return to their pre-excitement state).

		The female sexual response phase of arousal is not easily distinguished from the phase of desire until physiological changes begin to take place in the vagina and clitoris as well as other sexual organs.
		The methods of the present invention may be used to improve or enhance arousal and sexual response in women whose sexual response is impaired as evidenced by diminished capacity to produce sufficient vaginal lubrication to facilitate comfortable penile penetration and by other symptoms of impaired sexual responsiveness.
		In addition, measuring the contraction of the distal 1/3 as is characteristic of the plateau phase of female sexual response of the vagina may be measured using methods and equipment well known in the art including but not limited to strain gauges or other devices for measuring muscular contraction or muscle tension.

	Sexual Disorders - Mark Hillman, Ph.D. - Psychotherapist
		Sexual dysfunctions prevent or reduce an individual's enjoyment of normal sex and prevent or reduce the normal physiological changes brought on normally by sexual arousal.
		These dysfunctions can be classified by the phase of the sexual cycle in which they occur.
		The inability of females to become sexually aroused is sexual arousal disorder.

	In Search of a Deep Psychobiology of Hypnosis
		The importance of arousal in hypnosis was emphasized by Amigo (1994) who presented evidence for "self-regulation therapy" as a "cognitive-behavioral approach to hypnosis" that involves the "voluntary reproduction of the stimulant effects of epinephrine." Likewise Harris et al., (1992) found that "both branches of the autonomic nervous system may contribute to hypnotic susceptibility.

		I think sexual desire and response deserve special attention, not because arousal and orgasm are the only things that matter in a satisfying sexual life, but because changes in the physical aspects of sexual response often have spinoffs into other areas including selfimage and selfesteem.
		Although women with MS who report a reduction in their sexual arousal may cite lack of vaginal lubrication as a specific symptom, I think they are more likely to say that they don't feel excited sexually rather than focusing on "lack of lubrication" as the problem.
		This is a prelude to the second phase, expulsion or ejaculation, in which contractions of muscles in the penis and groin area (controlled by nerves in the S2S4 region of the cord) cause release of the fluid to the outside.

		Dr. Clayton found that dysfunction occurred in at least one phase of the sexual response cycle in more than 95% of women who were taking antidepressant monotherapy with one of six new-generation antidepressants.
		Women who experienced dysfunction were most likely to have it in the arousal phase (82%) and in the desire phase (77%).
		With the other antidepressants, dysfunction occurred in the desire phase for 78%-85% of women, in the arousal phase for 82%-87%, and in the orgasm phase for 42%-52% of women, de pending on the medication.

		Circadian rhythms in the Syrian hamster can be markedly phase shifted by 3 h of wheel running or arousal stimulation during their usual daily rest period ("subjective day").
		In a preliminary study, phase shifts to arousal by gentle handling were significantly potentiated by the cortisol synthesis inhibitor metyrapone, suggesting that stress-related cortisol release may inhibit phase shifts to arousal.
		The results indicate that large phase shifts associated with arousal in the usual sleep period are neither induced nor prevented by stress per se, but are dependent on the expression of at least low levels of locomotor activity.

		Their interest grows, and they may move ahead to the next phase — excitement, which is how the body responds to desire.
		This is the scientific word for the phase that people often call climaxing or "coming." The scientific explanation is that painkilling chemicals called endorphins are released into the bloodstream, causing intense pleasure and relaxation.
		And for many women and men, the other phases of the sexual response cycle are more important and orgasm is not always a goal.

	Journal of Sex Research: Drug Treatments for Women's Sexual Disorders
		The DSM-IV focuses entirely on physical indices of arousal, described as a lubrication-swelling response, while it is often the lack of subjective arousal, lack of desire, orgasm difficulties, or sexual pain which lead women to seek treatment.
		This problem in diagnosing female arousal disorder is related to the lack of specificity as to what exactly constitutes a normal sexual arousal phase.
		Women vary greatly in the ease and latency of sexual arousal, and in the kind of sexual stimulation that is adequate for sexual arousal to occur (Leiblum, 1998).

	The Psychopharmacology of Sex,Part 2 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
		provided a simplified formulation of the neuropharmacology of normal human sexual response: the initial phase is libido, or desire, linked to satisfaction with sex; the second phase is arousal of genital tissues, resulting in erections in men and genital lubrication and swelling in women; and the final phase is orgasm, accompanied by ejaculation in men.
		Men may be more likely in general to have a disorder of arousal (erectile dysfunction or impotence), whereas women may be more likely in general to have a disorder of libido (lack of sexual desire or satisfaction).
		Some of the most commonly used drugs and their effects on specific phases of the sexual response are indicated in Figure 3.

		Men during this phase are physiologically refractory to erection for a period of time but women are able to respond to additional stimulation and experience orgasm (Kaplan.1975).
		Arousal and desire disorders in women were connected to their experiences of adult-child sexual contact or experiences with male sexual force.
		According to Basson et al.2000, there is a link between desire and arousal and Heiman, 2002 indicates that women with low sexual interest are more prone to sexual arousal disorder which may be effected by menopause and hormonal changes which occurs as women age.

	Stress Mastery
		Arousal Phase- After you encounter the stressor, a message is then sent throughout your body that you have encountered a demand or threat (Phase 1).
		This phase is often termed the Fight or Flight Response and is automatically triggered in our bodies when we perceive a threat or a stressor.
		Since this arousal state is persistent, one never reaches the recovery and resolution phase, and consequently, mental, emotional, physical, behavioral and social problems develop.

	FSAD
		Many current research studies and treatment therapies focus on disorders of either the Desire or Arousal phase of the female sexual response.
		Arousal Disorder: Arousal occurs during the “excitement phase” of the sexual response cycle, it involves increased blood flow to the genital area, pleasant body sensations, vaginal lubrication and swelling, and other physical body responses to sexual stimulation.
		This category of sexual dysfunction is currently the subject of intense research, with medication for the disorder being used in clinical trials.
