Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In 1966, William Masters and Virginia Johnson proposed a four-stage “linear” model of human sexual response based on some 10, 000 recordings of changes in participants’ physiology. From these data, they identified four successive (hence, linear) stages: (1) excitement, (2) plateau, (3) orgasm, and (4) resolution.

Detailed explanation-2: -The male sexual response cycle consists of excitement, plateau, orgasm, and resolution. The initial event, penile erection, is produced by arteriolar dilatation and increased blood flow to the erectile tissue of the penis.

Detailed explanation-3: -To address this issue, Helen Singer Kaplan[10] proposed an alternate three-stage model in 1979 and introduced the concept of desire into normal sexual responses. In this model, desire leads to arousal, then plateau and is followed by orgasm and resolution.
