Sexual intercourse occupies an important place in the relations of couples. At the same time, for health… The bodies begin to make preliminary preparations for the sexual intercourse process even before they have sexual intercourse. This process is scientifically called the “Sexual Response Cycle”. The Sexual Response Cycle consists of 4 stages; excitement, plateau, orgasm and resolution. While these 4 stages are pretty standard, it has become clear over time that every human body is unique and gender doesn’t always fit perfectly into these 4 categories. One thing is for sure, in each of these stages, there is only one type of thing going on with the body that is specific to sexual experience.
THE VAGINE EXTENSES
It may seem strange, but the size of the vagina changes during sex. During sex, many things change in the body. As arousal occurs, blood rushes into the vagina, causing the vagina to lengthen and the cervix to lift to accommodate.
SKIN RED
That red, flushed look you experience during and after sex is real, and science has an excellent explanation for why it happened. The red-pink appearance on your skin, referred to as the “sex flush”, is part of the sexual response cycle.
Swelling in Sexual Organs
Realizing the science behind arousal and how our bodies respond to it. For men, at this point in the arousal process, messages from the central nervous system will stimulate the genitals. The brain and more localized nerves cause the muscles to relax.
SPEED THE HEART RATE
Looking for a good cardio workout that doesn’t require you to get out of bed? you are lucky. During the average sex session, your heart rate rises and a significant amount of calories are burned. According to the Cleveland Clinic; During sex, the heart rate can increase to 110-120 beats per minute (BPM), depending on whether the partner is on the bottom or the top, respectively. Compare that to the average resting heart rate of 60-100 BPM and you can see that your heart is definitely working harder during sex.
PAIN THRESHOLD RISES
One of the more surprising side effects of sex is that it can actually somehow stop you from feeling pain. A published study discovered that vaginal self-stimulation significantly increased women’s pain tolerance threshold without affecting their ability to feel non-painful sensations. So, the big question you’re probably asking is why? According to science, endorphins, which are released in large quantities during sex, are the possible culprit.
