男女性功能障碍-新术语体系

详解比较
当然，为了对这两种主要的性功能障碍——“膨胀问题”和“性高潮问题”有一个比较清晰的理解，这个新近提出的男女性功能障碍的总体概要可以进一步分类。膨胀(tumescence)，即男女性器官充血，是性唤起的表现指征，那么，没有充血就预示着这个个体还未准备好开始性交的时候。在女性，表现为缺乏阴道润滑；而在男性，则没有阴茎勃起。性高潮(orgasm)，即表现为两性一系列由强至弱的肌肉痉挛性收缩所造成的性兴奋的巅峰状态。在某些病例，个体不能适时地达到令他或她满意的巅峰状态，还有一些人则根本不能达到性高潮巅峰状态。

Female and Male Sexual Dysfunctions -
A New Terminology

Detailed comparison
This new general overview  of female and male dysfunctions can, of course, be differentiated further in order to create a clearer understanding of the two major problems - "Problems of Tumescence" and "Problems of Orgasm". Tumescence, i.e. the engorgement with blood of the female and male sex organs is the manifestation of physical arousal, and its absence indicates that the individual is not ready to begin intercourse. In females, there is a lack of vaginal lubrication, and in males, there is a lack of penile erection. Orgasm, i.e. the climax of sexual excitement manifests itself in both sexes in a series of sudden muscular spasms of decreasing intensity. In some cases an individual is unable to time this climax to his or her or mutual satisfaction, and in some other cases is unable to reach a climax at all.
