In class today we went over 6 variations to sexual response as well as the people who thought of these variations.
1) Kaplan- Proposed a 3 phase cycle.- Desire- become problematic when it desire is low or non-existent. Creating tension within the relationship.-Excitement- erection and lubrication -Orgasm- Can be an object of dysfunction if orgasm is premature. Also frustrating if women cannot achieve orgasm at all, creating tension.
2) Basson- She took a female look at sexual response. She feels that the key ingredient for happy/healthy sexual encounter is intimacy. Having emotional and psychological relation with partner is key to Basson particularly in long term relationships.
3) Freud- Feels our conscious lives are driven by the unconscious. He feels there are two types of Orgasm for women. - Good Orgasm- which is the vaginal orgasm which is desired and illustrates healthy psycho-sexual development. - Not so Good Orgasm- representing something immature because it doesn't require a man or lead to reproduction.
4) Masters and Johnson- They feel there is only one type of orgasm which is purely psychological explosion of myotonia and muscle tension.
5) Relationships- any sexual experience that occurs within the lines of a relationship.
6) Masturbation- Release sexual tension when sexual interaction with another person is unavailable.
Socially and culturally empowering for most people.
