YOGYAKARTA Sex is related to many things, although it is the most fun to have an orgasm, but realized or not involving the body, mind, and cycle of sexual response. According to a certified sexual therapist based in Chicago, Rachel Zar, LMFT., there are phases that a person goes through during a sexual experience, this is what is called a cycle of sexual response.

Although sequentially the cycle of sexual response has four stages, joy, peak, orgasm, and resolution. But passion, excitement, and orgasm are cognitive and psychological. So the most actual cycle of sexual response was overhauled byatured Basson, former director of the Sexual Medicine Program, British Columbia University. The cycle is no longer linear, but is driven by two types of desire, namely spontaneous and responsive desire.

Spontaneous passions, usually appear just like that and are felt without sexual initiation, explains sex therapist and psychologist Laurie Mintz. On the other hand, responsive desire is triggered by physical or intimate stimulation. Like teasing or foreplay. So once someone likes and enjoys sexual stimulation, signs of body arousal up the stairs until if it is continued and agreed, reaching orgasm. However, because the cycle of sexual response is not all the same for everyone, don't miss mapping the following in order to get an orgasm.

Sexologist and psychologist Jess O'kebal, Ph.D. explained that dopamine levels are the highest during preparation or foreplay to get a prize. So, the desire often needs to be nurtured and not wait but create a fun moment with your partner.

Desire may be fueled when your partner gives fun stimulation. Like sexting, buying sexy gifts, flowers, or clothes. It may also be triggered when stimulating the body's sensual point. Well, this starting moment must be turned on with physical activity, no longer a cognitive or psychological desire anymore.

During the burning passion or desire phase, the body often changes. First, blood flows into the genitals, breasts, lips. Colors on this part of the body will change. Furthermore, the vaginal wall begins to bubble because the servics and uterine are attracted upwards and the clitoris of the diameter is enlarged. This second map, called excitement, is marked by changes in the physical. To trigger this phase, start by touching yourself, Zar said as quoted by Women's Health, Wednesday, January 15. This phase is often referred to as foreplay, explained OO.

"Together touch yourself or ask your partner to touch at points that usually make your body happy. Maybe clitoris, nipples, or lips. Can also engage in fantasy or erotics, have intimate conversations, or engage in naughty talks or role games or whatever you like," Zar added.

The next map after moving for foreplay, signs of increased passion are gradually felt on the physical. As in women, the vulva swells, the heart rate increases, the breath is heavier. The outer two-thirds of the vagina becomes blood-filled, and the vaginal hole narrows, explains Mintz. That's why some women say the first boost is the best during penetration because if they are sufficiently aroused.

Sexual experience even without reaching climax, or known as orgasm, can actually be fun and satisfying. But orgasm marks a fun release and the mind completely sinks into a physical sensation. Muscle contraction may be felt in the pelvic area, including the vagina, uterus, anus. This rhythmic contraction usually occurs at an interval of 0.8 seconds, starting at 0.6 seconds and gradually decelerating, according to O'Bajan.

After climax, women build stamina for orgasm again. It should also be understood that women can orgasm more than once in a session of sexual intercourse. Before preparing to orgasm again, the body will adapt to the resolution phase. Some people, both women and men, can experience great fatigue at the resolution stage. After all, sex is a calorie-burning activity. You may also feel satisfaction or relaxation after release. This is the right time to engage in light talks with your partner," Zar added.

In some cases, this post-sex chat can turn into something more. Maybe one or two more laps. The refractory stage, men usually need to recover before restarting the cycle of sexual response, Zar said. It could take a few minutes, hours, or even days until they are ready to do it again.

"For women, there may not be a refractory period at all," Zar said. A person's age, overall health, and stress levels can affect their ability to reach a refractory period, he added.

Those are the five maps that should not be missed to get an orgasm or peak pleasure when having sex.
