Dear Back for more,

Men have a "waiting period" after orgasm before they regain their erection. Alternatively, with some men, the "refractory period" after orgasm may be so brief that erection occurs again, and intercourse continues, without anyone noticing the penis leaving the vagina or anus. The length of the refractory period usually increases with age and differs from individual to individual and occasion to occasion. If a man continues to have sexual stimulation after reaching orgasm, the refractory period will generally get longer with each orgasm.

Some men report to have multiple orgasms before having a refractory period. This involves withholding or postponing ejaculation, and the orgasms were described as "mini-orgasms."

Touching, kissing, or focusing on your partner may surprise you with interesting results.
