Female Sexual Arousal
Unlike most other animals, human beings of both sexes are potentially capable of sexual arousal throughout the year, and there is therefore no human mating season. Things that precipitate human sexual arousal are commonly known as turn-ons.
Signs of possible human sexual arousal
Among both genders
Increase in breathing rate
Increase in blood pressure
Increase in muscle tone (myotonia)
Increase in heart rate (tachycardia)
Vasocongestion of the skin ("sex flush")
Erection of the nipples (especially upon direct stimulation)
Female sexual arousal:
Increase in breast size
Lubrication of the vagina
Vasocongestion of the vaginal walls
Clitoral tumescence and erection
More visible venous patterns across the breasts
Elevation of the uterus and stretching of the vagina
