DAVID REED’S EROTIC STIMULUS PATHWAY THEORY
The four stages of erotic stimulus pathway theory are as follow:
1. SEDUCTION: Seduction contributes to our psychological response. It includes all those things that an individual do to entice his partner to have sex- what he wears, flower, perfume and so on.
2. SENSATIONS: Sensation also contributes to an individual’s psychological response. In this stage, an individual’s senses take over. What an individual smell, touch, taste and hear all have the potential to turn a person on and enhance his excitement.
3. SURRENDER: Surrender is the third phase, in which orgasm occurs. Reed believes all individuals let themselves reach orgasm. If individual control too much then it interferes in his response.
4. REFLECTION: This is the last and final stage, in which an individual reflects on the sexual experience. An individual’s experience affects his future functioning.
