Talk:Refractory periods

Any hope of overcoming the refractory period? It makes sex a bummer for men. Women can go and go and go (my wife is amazing) while we men blip and then drip. After 40 it's even worse.

I tried drugs to counteract the rise in prolactin and oxytocin but they did nothing.

I also corresponded with someone at geocities.com/msri (now a dead link) who found that creating a slight lesion on a rat's brain enabled the males to have unlimited orgasms, just like women. That would be great!

As it stands, orgasm is petit mort (the little death) for men and a full-body delight for women. (Yes, I know not all women, but NO men experience this ecstacy).

And before people start telling me about male multiple orgasms, I've had them and they are not the real thing. You have to hold back - that is the chief male-female difference: Men hold back throughout sex, women REACH for more pleasure.

OK, scientists get going! If men can have one orgasm after another (there is only one recorded example -- www.multiorgasmic.com ) then women might actually enjoy intercourse as well as oral sex. And that would bring men and women a lot closer together.
