Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Facial grimaces and spasms in the hands and feet during sexual activity are due to myotonia, the increased muscle tension that occurs during sexual arousal. The spasms of orgasm are also a result of myotonia. Vasoconstriction and vasocongestion both involve changes in blood flow, but do not directly cause the symptoms described. Hydrocephaly is a medical condition unrelated to sexual arousal.
