Sexpert Q&A: Recharging His Battery
What is it about the length of time between sexual encounters for men that makes their orgasm more powerful or not?
—Gabe
Whether they’ve had one or many orgasms during sex, men require a refractory period after sex prior to becoming aroused again. This down time is vital to him being able to, sooner or later, experience arousal, erection and climax all over again.
For many men, the longer it has been since the last time they had an orgasm, the more powerful the orgasm during their next sex session. Their emission is likelier to come faster as well. Possible reasons for this reaction include the release of pent-up sexual tension, the fact that he has been more easily stimulated since it has been a while, and his body’s eagerness to ejaculate since it’s had plenty of time to replenish his semen load.

My boyfriend ejaculated 3 times during sex. The first time, is probably no more than 30 seconds after we start, then 5 minutes, then maybe a good 20 minutes then he is done. I don’t know whether this somewhat pertains to this article, or whether it is premature ejaculation. But he gets completely frustrated the first two times. I do not know how to help him if I can not diagnose the problem.
I personally tend to have a less intense orgasm when there is built up ejaculate after a long layoff. Yes the strength of the ejaculation may be powerful and the tension release is felt but for me there is lower intensity and penial sensation. The shorter the period between orgasms makes the feeling more intense though the amount of ejaculate may be minimal. Some of the most intense orgasms I’ve had are after frequent encounters over a few days (or hours when I was younger).
I’d personally say anywhere between 5 minutes and a half an hour. I’ve heard of men having a second orgasm shortly after his first with out any rest time. Some have better stamina eh?
All men are different… I have sex frequently so, for me, I have found that the more frequent the sex, the more intense the orgasm I have. Usually, 20-30 minutes rest between sessions is adequate – though less was required 20 years ago. Staying hydrated also helps the recharge process!!!
