When I have wanted to I have been able to turn around in a minute or so. I'm sure some guys here might do better, but that's been my luck. Your mate can help with that too. Also that second time I've found you can last longer. Good for your mate.

There is a recovery or "down time" for both men and women. This "refractory" period is usually very short for women and can be anywhere from a few moments to a few minutes. Women are usually able to experience and enjoy many more orgasms than her partner.

The refractory period for guys depends on the following factors: age, hormones, and sex drive.

Boys fresh out of puberty might be able to have four or more orgasms in quick succession, whereas a twenty-thirty year old may be limited to a total of two or three, each spaced between ten and thirty minutes apart. "Normal" is a range, and this can be the same, similar, or different than a schoolmate the same age. Also, "normal" is in a constant state of change, so be prepared to have your prowess change as you age.

Yup! You can enjoy multiple orgasms when you masturbate and when you are with a partner. Just learn what your particular recovery time is and then work within this time frame. Keep your "fires" warm by continuing to caress or stimulate yourself or by having your lover continue to caress you. Once you are have given your body time to recoup and regroup so to speak then you should be able to quickly peak your arousal and enjoy another climax--and to repeat this until your body cries "uncle" and refuses to respond for several hours or the rest of the day, depending upon how many orgasms you may have had beforehand and how early in the day.

If you are with a partner, then you have options. You can help her to enjoy one or more orgasms in between any two of yours; you can continue to make out with each other and to bring each other to a climax at about the same time; and/or you can intermix these two scenarios.

I'm 51, and my recovery time is usually no less than a few hours. Its often quicker than that, around 30 minutes or so, if I have previously abstained from sexual activity for a while.

It is possible to give a man multiple orgasms, as in two per erection, but it takes a bit of work. It is also possible to get 4 orgasms out of a 40 something male in 45 minutes but that also takes a bit of work. But if he's well-rested and well-hydrated there should be little difficulty with keeping him 'able' whatever his age.

For less intense sexual adventures, you go with his refractory period be it 15 minutes or 2 days. But most men can handle 3 times per 4 hour session, in my experience.

Evilevilkitten,
You sound like the voice of experience.. hehe. I'm going to get you in touch with my wife. What you said, sounds like a challenge and soooooo fun.

It is a great deal of fun!

I think the refractory varies considerably between men. 3 times in 4 hours is pushing it a bit for me, but I have done that. I have done 6 times in about 6 hours. (By myself, I might add. Was trying to see what I could achieve.)

I have a type of multiple orgasm. The second orgasm comes immediately after the first and is much more intense. I discovered how to do it while masturbating. When I start cumming I stop stroking for a few seconds and then begin again and I will have another orgasm. I can do the same thing while having intercourse. I just stop thrusting for a few seconds and then begin again. The second orgasm is really intense.

Well, I don't have multiple orgasms, but I have learnt how to prolong the sensations of orgasm during masturbation (although not during sex).

The trick is to totally relax the pelvic muscles while you bring yourself close to the point of orgasm, but to maintain that relaxation. It takes a fair bit of practice, as the natural urge is to contract the muscles, which will take you over the edge if you are not careful. But if you maintain the relaxation, you will find that with very slow gentle strokes you can get really close to the brink of orgasm without going over the edge. Eventually, with sufficient control, you will be able to experience some of the contractions of orgasm, along with the sensations, without ejaculating. You should be able to maintain yourself in this state for quite long periods of time. (I've managed several hours, believe it or not.) What you are doing is holding yourself on the brink of orgasm. Then, when you do finally ejaculate, the orgasm you have will be much more intense.

I can't manage this all the time, and I don't really want to anyway. I find it is easier to achieve this after a period of abstinence.

I am told this can also help with premature ejaculation? Is that anyone's experience?
