The sexual response cycle can be visually represented on a graph with time on the x-axis and arousal on the y-axis, depicting four sequential phases. During the excitement phase, arousal increases from a baseline to a midpoint. In the plateau phase, arousal remains relatively stable at the midpoint before starting to rise near its end. At the orgasm phase, arousal sharply surges to its peak, followed by a decline back to the midpoint. Finally, during the resolution phase, arousal drops from the midpoint down to the baseline.
