what causes sexual stimulation? how did we even come up with masturbation or touching oneself or sexual fantasies? how does someone see someone else tearing them apart with words and suddenly gets aroused? the core of human sexual desire is what i want to discuss today.
Sexual stimulation is a broad term, usually understood to mean physical touching of the genitals or other body parts. The term can, however, include stimuli affecting the mind sexual fantasy or senses other than touch (such as sight, smell, or hearing). Sufficient physical stimulation of the genitals usually results in an orgasm. Stimulation can be by oneself (masturbation or sexual fantasy) or by a sexual partner ( sexual intercourse) or other sexual activity, by use of objects or tools, or by some combination of these methods.
One study found that women benefit more from pleasurable sex with a committed partner, while gender did not impact the relationship with masturbation. Even sex toys have been around even from the Palaeolithic era made with siltstone and high gloss, sometimes with camel dung and coated resin. While uncertain if the motives were for pleasure or fertility rituals, even the Greeks, Romans, Ancient China, and somewhat Persia but this one was virginity checks due to the belief that blood was impure and would ruin the husband on the first night.
But sexual pleasure would not only derive from insertions down there, all of the human body is sensitive to the touch of another. Research using brain scanning tech found that stimulating nipples in women resulted in the activation of the genital area of the sensory cortex. They also measured heterosexuals in a California Institute of Technology study on whether they felt arousal by having woman touching their Thighs and it was concluded it can cause arousal. Lips contain a huge number of nerve endings and are considered to be an erogenous zone. Necks are a huge point as well. And i dare say, if you are touch starved, any gentle touch might not only arouse you but calm you and sometimes even confuse you. But i will let that knowledge for your experience.
The human sexual response is a dynamic combination of cognitive, emotional, and physiological processes. Whilst the most common forms of sexual stimulation discussed are fantasy or physical stimulation of the genitals and other erogenous areas, sexual arousal may also be mediated through alternative routes such as visual, olfactory and auditory means. Now if we are going deeper into sexual arousal.
Sexual arousal describes the physiological and psychological responses in preparation for sexual intercourse or when exposed to sexual stimuli. A number of physiological responses occur in the body and mind as preparation for sexual intercourse, and continue during intercourse. Male arousal will lead to an erection, and in female arousal, the body's response is engorged sexual tissues such as nipples, clitoris, vaginal walls, and vaginal lubrication. Some of this arousal can be due to the doing of sexual fantasies.
Sexual fantasies are nearly universal, being reported in many societies across the globe. However, because of the nature of some fantasies, the actual putting of such fantasies into action is far less common, due to cultural, social, moral, and religious constraints. In some cases, even a discussion by a person of sexual fantasies is subject to social taboos and inhibitions. Some people find it convenient to act out fantasies through sexual roleplay. A fantasy may be a positive or negative experience, or even both. It may be in response to a past experience and can influence future sexual behavior. But that goes on a whole other psychological story.
Now you are filled with pieces of knowledge about a very complex subject such as human sexuality. It is no shame and completely necessary to discuss these things since they are a part of us, and our nature as a reproductive species with erogenous parts that seem to be put there just for pleasure when they aren't need at all for reproduction. It affects our humors, relationships and jobs. It dictates some of our self worth and will for change or move forward. It's confusing, chaotic yet enchanting. I recommend reading more about it.
