Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
The sexual response cycle is a total body response with many physiologic changes throughout the body. The cycle has four phases: excitement, plateau, orgasm, and resolution.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
There is no scientific rationale to support abstinence from sexual activity during menses. Sexual activity during menses may be more pleasurable and may reduce or relieve cramping.
