It is also believed, in our culture, that a woman is normally only responsive to one man, while a man is able to respond to a wide range of sexually attractive partners. This is an example of the double standard and, with increasing women’s sexual liberation, has been shown to be a myth. Both sexes probably respond equally to visual and to tactile erotic sensations and both can respond to multiple partners – if they want to.
In the excitement phase of sexual arousal many changes occur in the bodies of both sexes. The principal, most obvious sign in a man is that his penis becomes erect. In a woman, the main sign of sexual arousal is less obvious, but no less important. Her vagina becomes softer and moister and its entrance rather swollen.
Many men believe erroneously that the vagina is a hollow tube waiting, open, ready to accept a penis. In fact, the walls of the vagina are normally pressed together, and when a woman is not sexually aroused, her vagina is a slightly moist potential space. The sexual arousal of the excitement phase converts this potential space into a well-lubricated, wet, soft, cushioned, warm space to encompass an erect penis. In sexual intercourse, the vagina expands only just enough to stay closely touching the man’s penis, whatever its size.
