The Four Stages of Arousal

You know, it was Socrates who supposedly said that the unexamined life is not worth living. I don’t know if I really agree with that or not, but just in case, I’ve been trying to pay closer attention to the world around me. And one of the first things I set my sites on was “arousal.” It seemed like as good a place as any to start, what with it starting with the letter “a” and all. And I think I’ve identified four very distinct stages of arousal that I characterize as follows:

1) Hey, what’s this? (Initial discovery of telltale physiological signs)
2) Ohhh (Recognition of those physiological signs)
3) Yowzer (self-explanatory)
4) Bonzai! (self-explanatory)

Of course it goes almost without saying that this applies to male arousal only. When it comes to female arousal, I don't have a clue. I’ll ask Vulva if she has any thoughts on the matter.

I hope this is what Socrates had in mind.
