Key result
Deeply satisfying female orgasm links to distinct respiratory and intrauterine pressure changes during coitus.
Why the study?
The physiological changes during coitus and their implications for patients with heart disease or high blood pressure were not fully understood.
This review highlights physiological changes during coitus, including blood pressure and respiratory patterns, which may be relevant for counseling patients with cardiovascular disease.
May inform sexual counseling in cardiovascular disease; leaves open whether orgasm-specific patterns modify risk.
A review of some experiments in human coital physiology in the home setting considers their possible value to the sex therapist. Blood pressure changes are described in normal subjects with reference to their relevance in patients with heart disease or high blood pressure. Respiratory patterns and intravaginal and intrauterine pressure changes are described during coitus, and their significance in different types of female orgasm are discussed. It now appears that a specific deeply satisfying and terminative female orgasm is associated with a particular type of respiratory pattern and intrauterine pressure change. The use of radiotelemetry devices to measure pressure and pH changes during coitus makes home studies possible. Further projects and areas for future study are considered.

A 1976 study conducted a review in normal subjects and patients with heart disease or high blood pressure. human coital physiology was evaluated. A specific deeply satisfying and terminative female orgasm is associated with a particular type of respiratory pattern and intrauterine pressure change during coitus.
