Myers 4 There are four linear stages to Master and Johnson's Sexual Response Cycle. Each stage provides a unique action taken by both the male and female reproductive cycle and are as follows: excitement, plateau, orgasm, and resolution (Mark, 2012). Excitement is the first phase and can last anywhere from a few minutes to several hours. For both the male and female, excitement is associated with muscle tension and a quickened heartrate. Breathing becomes heavier and the skin can start to turn red from arousal due to an increase in blood flow, specifically to the genitals. For a female, nipples become erect while the same can be said for a male's penis. A woman's vaginal walls will also begin to swell as the man's testicles begin to enlarge. Both the vagina and testes begin to lubricate during this phase (Todd, 2020). The phase of excitement is succeeded by a plateau. During this phase, a woman's vaginal walls begin to turn a dark purple hue due to an increase in blood flow. For a woman, this is also coupled with a retraction of the clitoris under the clitoral hood. In males, we see tightening of the testes. Males and females will start to have muscle spasms (Todd, 2020). Orgasm is the third phase and the one that includes the most distinct traits. All of the previous characteristics of the plateau phase such as an increase in heart rate, labored breathing, and muscles spasms are heightened during this phase. In both male and females, an orgasm is marked by a sudden release of sexual tension and contractions. In females, it is the pelvic muscles while it is the muscles of the penis that contract and release ejaculate in males. Both parties can experience a reddening of the skin that is referred to as a "sex flush"(Todd, 2020).

Myers 5 Master and Johnson's Sexual Response Cycle is concluded with the last stage referred to as Resolution. This phase is one that can be reached at different moments for a male and female since women can have multiple orgasms, but once reached, it is has similar characteristics to a male's resolution. A male and female will both experience a more regulated heartrate and breathing in resolution as well as a cease in muscle spasms. A woman's vaginal walls will return to their normal hue and her clitoris will return to its normal positioning. A male's penis will also begin to return to a flaccid state. In both parties, fatigue and a sense of well-being can be experienced post-coital (Todd, 2020).
