Well, 5-10 minutes is longer than many. As a woman, that is approaching the limit that I really enjoy.

Upon ejaculation, the male brain becomes flooded with endorphins - the hormone of pleasure. This also makes one very relaxed and sleepy. While many young men can go several times, the endorphins can end the cycle. If you release more than the usual amount, you are done and only want to chill out.

As has often been reported on the Board, women tend to become tired, bored, and, sore, if intercourse lasts longer than about ten minutes. The key to making your love making last longer is to devote the time to making out more.

If either of you are interested in and want to enjoy multiple orgasms, know that the man requires between ten and thirty minutes to recoup and regroup. Women on the other hand can enjoy many more orgasms closer together so the trick here is to pace yourselves. If you can only have two more (three total) for example, that will take you to beyond an hour. You can devote some of your down time to keeping her fires burning bright and help her to have one or more in between yours as well as one to coinside with your next one.

> I read and I have heard the second time you can last twice as long

Yes and no. This seems to fluctuate and depends upon the guy and the moment. Generally speaking subsequent orgasms in a multiple string do take longer to trigger and require more effort, thus letting him last longer. Now, having said that, use this time for foreplay activites, not all of it for intercourse.

> how can i keep up my hornyness

Try getting up and moving around a bit in order to get the blood flowing again. This will sometimes stave off wanting to roll over and snooze. As Brandye stated, we are at the mercy of our hormones. This may or may not change for the better as you age.
