What happens when a female is sexually excited?

When you get sexually aroused, or excited, many emotional and physical arousal signals are triggered. Your nerves, blood vessels, brain and hormones all change in some way, but that’s not all. Your thoughts and emotions also come into play when you get ‘turned on’.

Signs of female arousal

Sexual excitement signals include:

your breasts getting fuller

your nipples hardening (getting erect)

your heart rate and breathing getting faster

swelling of your clitoris and your vagina’s inner lips (labia minora)

having an orgasm (climaxing)

Everyone is different, but usually your body will go through 4 stages when you respond to sexual arousal: excitement, arousal, orgasm and resolution.

The 4 stages of female arousal

Stage 1: Excitement (Motivation)

This first stage is where you start feeling sexually excited because of thoughts, words, sights, smells or touch. You may feel a desire to have sex in this first stage, but this desire may only build up once you’re in the second stage of arousal. You might feel the muscles in your body start to tense and your heart rate and breathing get faster. Your breasts may become fuller and your nipples may harden (get erect).

Stage 2: Arousal (Plateau)

, which is giving yourself sexual pleasure by stimulating your genitals through touching or rubbing. Sexual arousal is when sexual excitement is both thought about and felt in the body. Blood will start to flow to your vagina, making your clitoris and vaginal walls swell. This increased blood flow causes your vagina to produce more lubricating fluid – this is often called ‘getting wet’ – a main telltale physical sign of female arousal. Your muscles will continue tightening and your clitoris will feel very sensitive. Your breathing and heart rate will also continue to increase.

Stage 3: Orgasm

When you reach the climax or peak of sexual excitement, it’s called having an . Just before orgasm, the muscles throughout your body tense up even more. As your orgasm begins, the muscles in your vagina tighten and release (contract) in a rhythmical way.

An orgasm generally lasts for only a few seconds. During this time you’ll have involuntary muscle contractions and spasms, and your blood pressure, heart rate and breathing will be at their highest. You’ll also feel a sudden, strong release of sexual tension. You may have 1 orgasm, or more than 1 (multiple orgasms). And you don’t need to have an orgasm to enjoy sex.

Stage 4: Resolution

This final stage is where you feel a sense of overall wellbeing and are completely relaxed. Most often, this stage will come after orgasm, but it can also happen after sexual activity without an orgasm. At this stage, your body will begin to return to its original levels of functioning with your heart rate and breathing returning to normal. Swollen areas will also go back to their original state. You may even feel sleepy. You may be able to orgasm again quite quickly after your first one and have multiple orgasms.

What’s the difference between arousal fluid, vaginal discharge and cervical mucus?

. If you keep on feeling this pain, it can also lead to you having problems with sexual activity (sexual dysfunction). Because vaginal pain has so many causes and can cause you more pain, it’s best to ask a doctor for advice. Cervical mucus is a natural fluid produced during your menstrual cycle by glands in and around your cervix. It changes in thickness and consistency as you go through the phases of your cycle. When you're most fertile, this mucus becomes slippery and wet, like raw egg white, and helps sperm travel into your cervix and uterus. You only produce arousal fluid in your vagina when you're sexually excited – this lubrication makes sex easier. Vaginal discharge is a term used for any fluids produced by your vagina, such as cervical mucus and arousal fluid.
