Female Sexual Responsiveness

Meaning

Female sexual responsiveness is a complex neuroendocrine and physiological phenomenon encompassing the capacity to respond to sexual stimuli with appropriate subjective arousal, physical changes, and subsequent satisfaction. This multifactorial process involves a delicate balance of central nervous system input, autonomic activity, vascular function, and the permissive actions of sex steroid hormones. Optimal hormonal health is intrinsically linked to this responsiveness and overall quality of life.
