Refractory period (sex)

Rare card · No. 43596

In human sexuality, the refractory period is usually the recovery phase after orgasm during which it is physiologically impossible to have additional orgasms. In males, this phase begins immediately after ejaculation and lasts until the excitement phase of the human sexual response cycle begins anew with low-level response. Some sources report that females do not experience a refractory period and can thus experience an additional orgasm (or multiple orgasms) soon after the first one. However, other sources indicate that many if not most females experience a refractory period after orgasm during which further sexual stimulation causes discomfort and does not produce excitement.
