Sexual arousal and what happens to our bodies when you get aroused?
Sexual arousal is a natural, normal response of the body. It can be experienced as a warm tingling in the pelvis or genital area that often leads to sexual desire and orgasm. For men, sexual arousal typically indicates an erection (hard penis); for women, it means vaginal lubrication (wet vagina), engorged labia, and an erection of the clitoris. Both men and women may experience other changes during arousal, such as a faster heart rate and increased blood flow to the genitals or face.
How Does Sexual Arousal Work?
Sexual arousal is a process of physical and emotional changes in response to sexual stimuli. It's caused by a part of the brain called the hypothalamus, which sends out hormones that signal other parts of the body that it's time for sex.
Sexual arousal starts with desire--you want to have sex because you find someone attractive or interesting. Then, as you get turned on by their touch, kiss, or words, blood flows into your genitals (penis/vagina). This causes them to become erect (for men) or swollen with extra blood flow (for women). You may also feel tingling sensations throughout your body and experience goose bumps on certain parts of your skin, like arms or legs, because these areas are sensitive when you're aroused!
What Happens to Men During Arousal
When a man becomes sexually aroused, his body goes through several changes. These changes include increased blood flow to the penis, heart rate and breathing becomes faster and deeper, body temperature rising (sometimes with sweating), pupils dilating, and muscles becoming tense. Blood pressure also increases, as does the production of sweat glands around the groin area, which can cause them to feel hot or sweaty underneath their clothes.
What Happens to Women During Arousal
If you've ever been sexually aroused, it feels good. A rush of pleasure and excitement can make everything else melt away. But how does sexual arousal work? And what happens to your body when it happens?
To understand sexual arousal in women, we need to talk about the clitoris--the sensitive bundle of nerves at the top of your vagina responsible for much of what happens during sex (and other times). When stimulated during foreplay or intercourse, this organ becomes engorged with blood and swells up like a tiny penis becoming erect! In addition to swelling up with blood like an erect penis does when aroused, female anatomy also gets lubricated internally by secretions from glands called Bartholin's Glands.
These glands are located near each side entrance into our vaginal canal opening area - this helps ensure smooth penetration during intercourse without discomfort or pain due to dryness caused by a lack thereof moisture down there... Women also have an engorgement of the labia becoming swollen and slightly enlarged lips from their non-aroused state. Those are the three main changes women experience when they become sexually aroused.
Sexual arousal happens quickly.
Sexual arousal is a natural bodily response that happens to both men and women. It can happen to people of all races at any age, and it's completely normal.
Sexual arousal happens quickly. The brain sends signals through the nervous system to the genitals (sex organs). In women, this causes lubrication of their vagina and swelling of their clitoris; in men, it causes enlargement of their penis by filling it with blood, so it becomes erect or hard enough for penetration during sex.
Conclusion
Sexual arousal is a complex process, but it happens quickly. The first step toward understanding how your body responds to sexual stimulation is to learn about the different stages of arousal in men and women. Understanding these stages will help you recognize what's happening in your body when you feel aroused or not so aroused by another person or situation.
