Stages and Signs of Female Arousal
Before delving into physical signs, let's take a brief look at stages
of female arousal.
According to research studies, there are four stages of female arousal. These stages include excitement and arousal, plateauing, orgasm, and resolution. Let's break down what each stage means and stands for.
1- Excitement and Arousal
The excitement stage is the beginning of arousal. This is when there is
a main focus on producing arousal. Focus on erogenous zones like the
lips or mouth.
2- Plateauing
During the plateau stage, the labia can swell and become warmer to the
touch. The temperature will continue to increase as she grows closer and
closer to the climax.
3- Orgasm
The climax or the orgasm is when the body releases all sexual tension
at once! It is the height of sexual arousal and results in immense
pleasure.
4- Resolution
The final resolution stage is coming down from the height of arousal.
It is when breathing slows and regulates, as well as heartbeat. Body
temperature will also regulate, and swelling will begin to
decrease.
Physical Signs of Female Arousal
We understand the basics of the four main female arousal stages. Now,
let's review physical signs of female arousal. Physical signs are the
most simple way to know if a woman is experiencing sexual arousal.
Read on as we dissect arousal in all parts of the female
body.
1- Vagina: Vaginal Canal
The vaginal canal has elasticity and expanses to allow entrance for a
penis or sex toy. Also, the vagina will lubricate itself, which is why it can become "wet." This female "wetness" involves different
body fluids.
There is discharge from the vagina, cervical fluid, and arousal fluid.
All these body fluids have a special design to prepare the vaginal canal
for penetration.
2- Breasts and Nipples
The breasts can swell, and the nipples will harden. These are two clear
signs of female arousal. Science proves that
sexual play of the nipples increases female sexual arousal by 81.5%!
3- Breathing
A woman's breathing will quicken, and you will hear shallow
inhalations. You may hear deeper inhalation as she reaches closer to an
orgasm. That is because oxygen levels rise
with her sexual stimulation.
4- Face, Cheeks, and Skin
You may notice that her face relaxes. Her cheeks may appear flush red. This is because
adrenaline rushes through the body during sex.
Adrenaline causes blood vessels
to dilate, allowing for more blood flow. The adrenaline will also affect the
temperature of her skin. She will feel warm, and you may notice
sweating.
5- Mouth and Eyes
She may allow her mouth to remain a bit open. She may bite her bottom
lip. Her eyes may appear hungry with desire. If you are aware of her
pupils, you may see them dilate.
However, studies show
men experience dilating pupils more than women with sexual arousal.
6- Verbal Cues of Female Arousal
Some women may be more comfortable expressing themselves out loud.
Others may be more comfortable being quiet. Either way, it is best to be
aware of how your female partner is enjoying the activity.
Listen for moaning, breathing, and verbal commands.
How To Increase Female Arousal
Vibrators are a woman's friend!
Vibrations on the clitoris will stimulate those 8,000 nerve endings.
Stimulating her clitoris can encourage her natural
lubrication.
There are also vibrators with temperature options. Heating options
could increase her arousal and is worth the extra investment. Also,
consider massage speed and rhythm type.
Women may prefer faster or slower speeds and alternating pulsing
patterns.
Women and men can improve sexual performance
and pleasure in similar ways. Those similarities are having a clean diet, exercise, and mental
health.
Clean Diet
Eating clean foods with low grease will improve your energy and physical health. It is
logical that this will also improve how you have sex. This will also
give you more energy to enjoy the activity.
Exercise
Exercise and mental health go hand-in-hand. Exercise makes you healthier and happier in the long run. Regular exercise can boost men's
and women's sexual stamina!
Mental Health
Men and women can experience anxiety and stress when thinking about having sex. It could be due to struggling with
feeling confident in your own skin for a long time. Whatever the case
may be, stress and anxiety take a real toll
on sexual pleasure and even the possibility of sex.
Practice regular mental health strategies to keep you enjoying physical
play! This includes regular exercise, having a clean diet, sleeping
enough, and practicing mindfulness.
A Few Wrong Ways To Arouse a Woman
We know some key ways to arouse a female, but what are some
mistakes to avoid?
Being too eager when entering could cause pain and discomfort. You
want to make sure she is well lubricated before going in. When you
do enter the vagina with a penis or toy, be sure to move in with
care.
Another wrong way to go about arousing a woman is not listening.
Slow down if she is flinching or scrunching her face. She may be shy
or nervous to express discomfort.
Refocus your energy on listening to her verbals and non-verbals.
Also, encourage her to speak with gentle questions like:
- How does that feel?
- Do you like it when I do that?
- Would you like me to slow down?
- Want to change positions?
- Are you comfortable?
There is nothing more attractive than showing a woman you care
about her body and her feelings.
What Is Female Sexual Arousal Disorder (FSAD)?
Female arousal disorder can affect a woman's sexual fulfillment. Like men sexual problems, women also can suffer from sexual dysfunction and disorders. But what does female arousal disorder
mean and look like?
FSAD is when a woman has little to no interest in sex. It could lead to
emotional distress when it goes on for many months. She may experience
physical signs also, like not being able to get "wet."
When To See a Doctor for Female Sexual Arousal Disorder
Life can be hard at times, but that should not debilitate you from one
of life's natural activities--sex! It may be time to visit a doctor if
you have many symptoms that keep you from doing the do. There is more
information on FSAD in the Diagnostic Manual for Mental Disorders
(DSM-5).
According to DSM-5, three or more of these signs and symptoms
warrant a doctor's visit:
-
No interest or
thoughts about sex
-
Decrease in sexual
arousal
-
Decrease in pleasure
during sexual activity
-
Reduced or no arousal
in response to visual, written, or verbal cues
-
Infrequent or no
initiation of sexual activity within a relationship
-
Reduced or no
sensations in the genitals
Women's sexual health is vital for a happy and healthy life. Seeking
healthcare should be a top priority if these symptoms last more than six
months.
Key Takeaways
What are the key takeaways from seeing the signs of female arousal in
your partner? Great question; we are glad you asked!
