Arousal in man
Male excitement
In men, the penis experiences an erection (that is, the corpora cavernosa become filled with blood and the size and turgidity of the penis increases markedly ).
Arousal in women
Female excitement
In women, the vulva is dilated and the vagina is moistened (because its blood supply increases in its walls, causing them to lubricate).
Excitation start
Arousal begins with both physical and psychological stimulation, or a combination of both, through smell, sight, touch, thought, or emotions.
In physiological terms, it is related to the vasocongestive phenomenon: blood flow in certain regions of the body, particularly in the pelvic organs. Its fundamental manifestations, which may not be instantaneous or permanent, are:
- The erection of the penis.
- Lubrication of the vagina.
