Sean is in the plateau phase, which is characterized by a high level of arousal, continued stimulation, and the secretion of pre-ejaculatory fluid. The orgasmic phase follows plateau, in which an orgasm (and ejaculation, in males) occurs. The excitement phase is the initial stage of sexual response, marked by feelings of sexual tension and arousal. The resolution phase occurs after orgasm and is marked by the release of sexual tension and a decrease in arousal.
