Human sexual response cycle

The human sexual response cycle is a four-stage model of physiological responses to sexual stimulation,^[1] which, in order of their occurrence, are the excitement, plateau, orgasmic, and resolution phases.^[2] This physiological response model was first formulated by William H. Masters and Virginia E. Johnson, in their 1966 book Human Sexual Response.^[1]^[3] Since that time, other models regarding human sexual response have been formulated by several scholars who have criticized certain inaccuracies in the human sexual response cycle model.
