Sexual Response cycle | the four stages of sexual responding described by Masters and Johnson- excitement, plateau, orgasm, and resolution. |
Refractory period | a resting period after orgasm, during which a man cannot achieve another orgasm. |
Sexual Disorder | a problem that consistently impairs sexual arousal and functioning. |
Estrogen | a sex hormone, secreted in greater amounts by females than by males. In nonhuman female mammals, estrogen levels peak during ovulation, promoting sexual receptivity. |
