How long is your refractory period?

Mine has always been soooo long. It takes me legit a day to go again.

    Depends.

    If we pause, it will be several hours (has been increasing as i get older). If we keep going, it can be essentially immediately.

    I can go again after an hour but I’m not that interested. Takes a day to get interest again

    When I was younger, 15 – 20 minutes and I was ready to go again. Now, It’s one and done. I need a good nap, a cup of sweet tea and a bourbon biscuit before I’m ready again.

    I don’t really have one, just based on my mood. I can just keep going if I feel like it.

    Can’t remember the last time I tested it. Hard to tell the diff between “can’t” and “don’t want to.” Even if I can get it up, it just doesn’t feel that amazing if I try to push it too soon. And it can be difficult to keep it up.

    1. Maybe 30 minutes to an hour. After 2 rounds, it’s sleeping until tomorrow.

    That really just depends on what is going on. End of the day after a date, I am a one and likely done guy. It will be an hour and by then we will both be comfy and asleep. If its a 3 some, There is very little refractory for me. I go off, stay hard and am ready to go again. Same for anal. I had a partner who only would do anal after going off vaginally first, so same as a 3some, I learned to just play through it.

    Once you get north of 40, it’s generally a day.

    Humble brag! But I recently had sex in the afternoon and then AGAIN just before bed.

    Both of us were equally surprised that that happened!

    Honestly depends on a lot of factors.

    Probably about a day or so as well. Unless I haven’t released in a while.

    It varies. In my early 20’s it was like 20min exactly. At 30 it varies between 30min – 1 hour. The more I work out the shorter it is.

    usually an hour or two.

    but in my 20s had a few instances of going 2 or 3 in a row

    30 minutes, at age 59.

    I’m 43. And it’s usually about 30 mins.

    But, we have two little kids, so I don’t get a chance to test it very often. Sex is usually right before we fall asleep, or a quickie in the morning before kids wake up.

    The rare occasion where we have a date night and can dedicate the time? I was surprised to see my recovery time was petty much the same as it was in my early 30s. But man, it’s rare when I get that opportunity.

    I don’t have one. My dick just stays hard.

    Idk like 10-20 min doesn’t mean I’m not gonna be taking it easy in between 🍽️🐈

    Physically it’s 5 minutes, mentally it’s half a day or more. It’s stayed quite consistent throughout my life.

    Mid-30s and it depends on a lot of variables but about 15-30 minutes. The sensation, erection and load is less intense/large every time.

    I don’t really have one. I frequently have multiple orgasms in one session.

    Was about 10 minutes on a slow day. Now it’s up to 15 years and counting😤.

    In my teens it was about 5-6 hours. In general, since my twenties up until late 50s, it was about 24 hours. Since then it’s been around 2-3 days. While I might be able to orgasm again more quickly, it becomes much more difficult and takes much longer to the point at which it’s not worth pursuing.

    I’m just about 40, and it’s definitely gotten longer as I have aged.

    Usually anywhere between 8-24 hours these days if it’s actual sex.

    If I am really horny, as happens a few times a year it can be as short at 45 minutes sometimes.

    If it’s masturbation, it’s more like 1-2 hours. Masturbation does not generally bring as depleting of ejaculation.

    When I was younger and at my most horny, it could be as little as 5 minutes. Sometimes functionally it would seem like I had no refractory period whatsoever. I would get softer after ejaculation, but with a little stimulation and a sexy enough situation, I could almost immediately get hard again and go 3-4 times in a row in some cases.

    10 to fifteen minutes generally, which tends to be rare. I tend to also stay hard after sex so often I can just go again while in refractory.

    I’m 56, on TRT for 8 years. Maca Root also helps. Almost non existent. Finish round 1. Take a piss, maybe a refreshing shower, drink some water. Start round 2.

    10 to 20 minutes. Usually I’ll smoke, drink some water and dry myself off. And after a couple minutes after that I’m ready to go again. Usually after the second one i’m tapped and my desire goes away.

    40 here.  About 4 to 6 hours.  However…if I really want to enjoy sex I need to wait a day in between.  Fortunately so does my wife.
