This mutuality leads to an enhanced sexual experience for both partners. Both partners, while performing foreplay, are able to have a mutual experience of understanding and emotions. Psychologically, foreplay lowers inhibitions and increases emotional intimacy between partners. Whereas female partners require longer acts of foreplay to become sufficiently stimulated and pleasured. Robinson suggests that male partners are able to perform sexual intercourse without the requirement of foreplay. It is for this reason foreplay has been found to play a critical role for the female partner, as noted by sexologist Dr. These physical events aforementioned are more easily reached by the male partner as compared to the female partner which is possibly due to the potential consequences of pregnancy and motherhood. When partners experience sexual arousal from the acts of foreplay, their organs that are susceptible to pleasure become highly sensitive to external stimuli all while at the same time releasing bodily fluids that lubricate the organs to prepare for intercourse. For male partners this leads to an erection and for female partners this results in a clitoral erection. Physically, the sexual organs for both partners receive more blood flow and become aroused. Foreplay has important physical and psychological effects.
