Why does female arousal take more than 5 minutes?
Arousal is the physiological changes in your body that occur when you are sexually excited.
For women, this process often takes more than 5 minutes (like you see in the movies). Why?
The clitoral network has a whole lot of erectile tissue. (anatomy demo)
All this tissue needs time for the blood flow to increase to it.
The blood flow increases as arousal increases.
Your brain engages and often this is when desire is determined. (Do I want sex?)
As the blood flow increases to the tissues they dilate and become swollen.
The vaginal canal might expand.
Lubrication happens.
Adequate arousal can increase pleasure.
The average time needed for adequate female arousal leading to orgasm is 14-20+ minutes
