Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Penile erection in men and vaginal lubrication in females occur as a result of vasocongestion, which is the increased blood flow and engorgement of genital tissues during sexual arousal. This results in the swelling and hardening of the penis in men and the lubrication and swelling of the vaginal walls in females. Orgasm and muscular tension may also be involved in the sexual response, but they are not the primary cause of penile erection or vaginal lubrication. Decreased blood pressure is not directly related to sexual arousal or genital response.
