PSYCHOLOGY OF ORGASM AND CHANGES IN FEMALES DURING INTERCOURSE (COITUS)

ORGASM CHANGES IN FEMALES DURING INTERCOURSE (COITUS) 

CHANGES IN FEMALES

A satisfactory intercourse is associated with appropriate psychological and reflex reactions in the female, consisting of:

1. Engorgement of vulva.

2. Relaxation of adductor muscles of the thighs and of the vaginal orifice.

3. Secretion of lubricating mucus by the vulvular glands because of release of VIP from vaginal nerves.

4. Erection of clitoris; afferent impulses (tactile) from the stimulated clitoris and labia minora may heighten the state of physical excitement. These stimuli are reinforced by tactile stimuli from the breast and by visual, auditory and olfactory stimuli and help to achieve a complete orgasm. This is accompanied by autonomically mediated rhythmic contraction of the vaginal wall.

As a result of all these changes, vagina becomes distensible, its lining is lubricated and it becomes easily penetrable by the penis.

ORGASAM

It means satisfactory intercourse which results in a climax of sexual excitement with appropriate psychological and reflex reactions consisting of: 

(1) increase in heart rate upto 150 b.p.m

(2) increase in systemic arterial BP

(3) rapid breathing

(4) flushing of face

(5) sweating.

All these changes are due to increased epinephrine secretion into the circulation. There may be associated stimulation of the anterior pituitary, adrenal cortex and the thyroid gland.
