The "Masters and Johnson" sexual response cycle is a widely recognized model that describes the physiological and psychological stages of human sexual response. It consists of four main phases:

1. Excitement: This initial phase involves arousal, where physical and mental stimulation lead to increased blood flow to the genital area, resulting in physical changes such as erection in males and vaginal lubrication in females. Heart rate and breathing quicken during this stage.

2. Plateau: In this phase, sexual arousal continues to build, and individuals experience heightened sensations. It is characterized by an increased state of sexual tension and anticipation.

3. Orgasm: The climax of the sexual response cycle, the orgasm phase involves intense pleasurable sensations, rhythmic muscle contractions, and a release of sexual tension. Orgasms vary in intensity and duration among individuals.

4. Resolution: After orgasm, the body gradually returns to its pre-aroused state. Heart rate and breathing return to normal, and physical changes, such as the loss of erection in males, occur. Individuals may experience a sense of relaxation and well-being during this phase.

The Masters and Johnson model has been influential in understanding human sexual response and has contributed to advancements in the field of sexology and sexual therapy.
