The Dual Control Mechanism in Your Brain That Regulates Sexual Excitation

The most common orgasm difficulty experienced by people is highly treatable and is referred to as secondary orgasmia. This means the person can have orgasms under some circumstances but not under others. The mechanism in the brain that governs sexual response is called the dual control mechanism, which consists of the accelerator or sexual excitation system, noticing all sex-related information, and the brakes, which send a turn-off signal in response to potential threat stimuli. The process of becoming aroused involves turning on the ons and turning off the offs. In the case of L, she can sufficiently activate the accelerator to reach a high level of sexual arousal when alone, but not with someone else around, due to less activation of the accelerator and more stimuli activating the brakes.
