Masters and Johnson published their book in 1996 of a linear model of sexual response for both men and women. The book was composed of four stages, beginning with excitement/arousal and proceeding to plateau, orgasm, and resolution. Kaplan came along in 1979 adding the concept of desire to the model and condensed the overall response into three phases; desire, arousal, and orgasm. Over the past decade, this framework has been called into question for women for many different reasons.
This model assumes that men and women have similar sexual responses, which they do not. Many women do not move progressively through the phases as described; they may move from sexual arousal to orgasm and satisfaction without experiencing sexual desire at all. They can also experience desire, arousal, and satisfaction but no orgasm. Some researchers propose that much of female sexual desire is actually responsive rather than spontaneous. For example, a reaction to a partner being spontaneous rather then her own spontaneous feelings.
