The senses play a pivotal role in the sexual response of women. In Basson’s model, emotional intimacy with a partner may render women sexually aroused through specific stimuli, of which physical contact (the tactile sense) is pre-eminent (Basson, 2001). Bancroft et al. developed the dual-control (excitation/inhibition) model of the sexual response and emphasized its neurophysiologic substrate (Bancroft et al., 2009). In their model, tactile stimuli give excitatory (or inhibitory) input to the spinal cord, thereby mediating the genital arousal response.
