Which of the following is true of Kaplan's triphasic model of sexual response?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Kaplan's triphasic model of sexual response proposes that desire, arousal, and orgasm are separate phases in the sexual response cycle. This model is useful in understanding disorders of sexual desire, such as hypoactive sexual desire disorder. While it does not explicitly consider psychological components of sexual response (such as emotional or cognitive aspects), it does offer a more comprehensive understanding of sexual response than earlier models. The model does not propose that women experience a refractory period, unlike men; both genders can experience a short period of time after orgasm during which they are less responsive to sexual stimulation (although this is more commonly experienced by men).
