THE HUMAN SEXUAL RESPOSE – FORTH PHASE

The fourth phase, the resolution phase, is the period during which the individual’s response resolves from the climactic peak of orgasm, and returns rapidly to the unstimulated state. During the first few seconds of this phase the glans of the penis is extremely sensitive to touch, and the man is unable to respond to any sexual stimuli. This phase usually merges into a phase of contentment, of love, of relaxation, of warmth, of well-being, and usually of sleep. The old adage that the sleep of the just is not as good as the sleep of the just-after is all too true! This can cause sexual conflict if the man’s partner, having failed to obtain sexual release, finds at best a sleeping man holding her in his arms, and at worst, the inert, snoring mass of a satiated man lying beside her. Yet in fairness to the man, his pleasure in sexual intercourse may be reduced if he is unable to enjoy the short period of complete relaxation which characterizes the later part of the resolution phase. In fairness to the woman, it can be remarkably frustrating to be sexually stimulated but not helped to orgasm. The solution must be for the couple to talk to each other about the problem and reach a compromise. If the woman does not reach orgasm during sexual intercourse, the man can help her reach orgasm by stimulating her clitoris with his finger or his tongue either before he ejaculates or afterwards. The couple may decide to vary their technique from time to time, so that the man can enjoy the relaxation of the resolution phase more fully.
