Refractory Period

The refractory period refers to the period of time it takes for a man to recover from an orgasm and be ready to have another one. The refractory period is different for all men. It can last anywhere from a few minutes to a few days. During this time, a man will often be unable to achieve an erection. In fact, any sort of contact with the genitals or attempted sexual stimulation may be very uncomfortable.
