Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Masters and Johnson did indeed identify four phases of the sexual response cycle-excitement, plateau, orgasm, and resolution. Option B is incorrect because clinicians rate sexual dysfunction according to whether it is lifelong or acquired, as well as whether it is generalized or situational. Option C is partly correct but not wholly true, as the Common Sexual Function Index is just one of the many ways to measure the prevalence of sexual dysfunction in both women and men. Finally, option D is incorrect because sexual excitement does not continue to build during the resolution phase, but rather decreases.
