It really depends on the guy. Some can maintain an erection afterward and continue, some are ready in five minutes, some are ready in fifteen and others it could be hours. There's no hard and fast minimum or maximum 'recovery' period.

Time to down a beer and im good to go...

It depends on if my husband comes right away during our session; it only takes a few minutes to get hard again. If we have been going at it for hours and he finally comes then, he is done for a few hours if not the day.

There are also two different types of "ready to go again". It will take longer for him to be ready to ejaculate again then it will for him to have another erection (and it's easier to train yourself to get another erection then it is to train yourself to have a second orgasm or ejaculation).

Really depends on the guy. Some guys it can take ten minutes, others, an hour if not more. It also depends on age. While my boyfriend can easily be ready within five minutes again, once you get older, it does start to take longer.

ScottA also makes a good point. If you mean ready to go as "erection", it takes less time. However, having a second orgasm would take longer.

For me it depends on how fast I come first. There are times when I come early and the wife is not done yet. In those circumstances I will just keep going and only lose some of my erection. Then it only takes a few minutes to be fully hard again but it will be an hour or more till I can come again.

For those times that it takes 30 to 45 minutes for me to come the first time, I need 20 minuets or so to recover.

Also if the wife gives me prostate stimulation and some oral/hand job till I come, I can have her put in a plug or prostate massager in me and while I give her some attention orally I can regain my erection and come fairly quickly again.

Sometimes I wonder if most of it depends on your mental state. If you are really into it the body will recover faster. Just my thoughts.

Really interesting answers here. I had a boyfriend who didn't become soft afterward. He could just continue. It was wonderful. My husband has always been a once and you're done kind of man. There are no seconds.

Depends on the guy. I know of some who keep going, and some who are just once and done. Age may play a part, too, as well as diet, weight, stress levels, etc.

It has to do with alot of things for me.

I have had times were I can go like 3 times in a row there are others when I can go again for like 6 hours.


I find if I am with someone new I cum fast then stay rock hard and can go like 2 more times. Or if I have been away from my wife for a bit its the samething I cum fast then go like 2 more time right away.


Back in my early 20s I could just keep going no matter what now not so much but I still have my moments.

sometimes I'm good to go again in 5 minutes or so. Other times I don't want to for substantially longer

It is subjective. Some guys can go pretty much right away, others take a few hours or more. It really depends. It also depends on the quality of the first orgasm.

depends on the guy. I dated a guy that wouldn't take but just seconds and he was ready to go again. My husband it take HOURS or Days.

It runs the gambit and even guys can change depending on the day. Some days, regardless of how quickly I come, I'm ready to get right back at it without waiting i.e. I never lose my erection. Some days I just can't get excited enough go again. And then there's everything in between. Sometimes I just need a few minutes, sometimes I need an hour or so. The trick for me is to keep my head in that place; no we're not currently having sex or doing anything sexual, but we're not done, this is just an intermission. We keep talking about sex, we keep thinking about sex. Its actually a really good time for us to talk openly about where we are in the sexual piece of our relationship; what we like about it, what we would like to change maybe, or those "I had this thought the other day, what about trying..." conversations. You just have to get to know your partner. If they're a once a done and its always gonna be that, or if there's room to maybe change that, its all about being able to talk about it.

Depends on the guy, like anything.

The only one I have experience with could do it a few times in a row with breaks of a few minutes in between when we were younger. But we haven't used condoms for years, like to eliminate risks of a single drop of leftover semen...so we tend to not do anything sexual for most of the day before we do it again. Also, we're less physically active now, so we get a little more winded from sex than we used to. I'd like to test our abilities again someday soon, though!

i stay hard after i cum the first time, and i am ready to go again almost right away.

For me i can go till 5 seems to be my number lmao 5 full orgasms without stopping but man after that fifth one my penis protests. After each one it def takes longer for the next one to hit.

Just depends on the day really, 5-10 minutes is my usual; however I have had days where I just stay hard after a few times in a row and others where I went limp right away. Usually the healthier I eat the longer it can keep erect after cumming.
