YOUR MARILAL HEALTH/THE SUPER SEX RESPONSE MODEL: PHYSIOLOGICAL ORGASM
This dimension of the super sex model refers to the contractions of the muscles in the pelvic area followed by a detumescence. In males and in some females, physiological orgasm is accompanied by emission of fluid. Whipple and Perry report that females experience a buildup and discharge of muscle tension in the pubococcygeal muscles and in the orgasmic platform (the area that can contract in the outer third of the vagina in response to sexual stimulation). They add that the buildup and disharge of myotonia in the deeper muscles of the vagina results in the uterus contracting and pushing down, causing the orgasmic platform to open, resulting in what they call an “A-frame” effect in the vagina. The former response, called the “tenting response,” is not typically involved with emissions in the female. The A-frame response can be involved in such emission, probably related to the Skene’s glands (glands around the urethra) and stimulation of the Grafenberg area (Whipple and Perry called this the G spot.)
Men in my interviews reported different types of physiological orgasms as well. Some felt more of an “opening” sensation similar to that of the A-frame orgasm, while others felt the contractive response of the tenting type.
“I definitely know when I come. I feel this tensing, then a series of pulsations,” reported the wife.
“I feel like that, too,” said the husband. “It’s like I’m going to come, then I come. It is just like strong pulses in the groin.”
The physiological orgasm was the emphasis of the first three perspectives, with a focus on the body response rather than “psy-chasms.”
