* Must be appropriate sensory stimuli (tactile, visual, olfactory, auditory) in order for the central nervous system to be stimulated for efferent events to cause erection.
* Must be appropriate sensory stimuli (tactile, visual, olfactory, auditory) in order for the central nervous system to be stimulated for efferent events to cause erection.
** Extrinsic stimuli are called '''erotogenic stimuli'''.
** Extrinsic stimuli are called '''erotogenic stimuli'''.
* Stimuli cause afferent sensory nerves to fire.
* Terminals synapse with neurons in the ''''behaviour centre'''' in the hypothalamus.
