How A Woman Becomes Aroused

Stimulation adequate for sexual arousal is controlled by the brain. Adequate estrogen and testosterone are necessary for the brain to sense arousal.

Sexual Stimuli

• Inputs to brain
• Brain decides something is stimulatory
• Input increased electrical activity of input nerves

Sexual Arousal

Output from brain

• Increased output of electrical activity from brain
• To penile/clitoral arousal nerves

Arousal nerves activate the Nitric Oxide Synthase System

Electrical (arousal) nerve stimulation causes conversion of L-Arginine to Nitric Oxide.

L-Arginine

• Amino acid stored in tissue of penis/clitoris in small amounts
• Amino acid available in health food stores
• Only source dietary

Nitric Oxide

• Causes potent vasodilitation of Corpus Cavernosa
• Builds up over time
• Depends on:
  • Activity of NOS system
  • Availability of L-Arginine

Orgasm can only occur from a maximally aroused clitoris. Arousal is when the clitoris is engorged with blood to cause clitoral enlargement, clitoral rigidity (erection) and clitoral sensitivity.

This all occurs because of the L-Arginine Nitric Oxide System, awarded the 1998 Nobel Prize in Medicine and Physiology.
