The time it takes for a male to "recharge"

I recently read an article about a study that was done on males about how long it takes them to become erect again after climaxing. The study insists that it takes one minute for each year of age the male is. Example: If a male is 43 years old it would take 43 minutes for him to "recharge". What are your TRUTHFUL experiences regarding the "recharge" time?
 
LOL it's sad to say but after being married for 9 years my husband wont even consider getting it back up again the same night! But at one time we waited for 30 minutes...thats back when sex was new! lmao:p
 
well... that means it supposedly takes 20 mins for him to get back up... but i know that isnt true with my man... it takes him less than that, and he definitely keeps me very pleased in the mean time.. i think he really enjoys seeing a dazed smile on my face during and after every time
 
depends on the man, and the situation.

I'm not even close to a superman, BUT, it doesn't take me half of my age sometimes. Then again other times, I can't get back up for much longer.
 
I've had men where it was once a night and I've had others who could go right afetr the first minute. I think it depends on their mind set and how rested their body is, as well as the arousal state.
 
That sounds about right, but it depends on what they mean by "recharging"; the ability to get an erection or the ability to have an orgasm?

If it is the ability to get an erection, then they are wrong - that hasn't changed for me as I have gotten older, except that with experience I believe I can actually get an erection faster. It only takes about ten minutes at most for me to get another erection if I let myself go soft - and I can stay hard after an orgasm if I am careful and I do not cease stimulation (either visually, mental or by touch).

As I mentioned in another thread a week or two ago, I and most males can keep an erection after a number of orgasms (I have had three, over a period of three hours, only losing my erection after the third because I was tired).

Now, if you mean the time period between orgasms - then after the first, 45 minutes to an hour sounds about right, but then it has always been that way for me. The third one is a little longer yet, then I have to rest for a while (my max is six in 10-12 hours).

But I don't really care about orgasms after the first two or three, and I enjoy the sex between the orgasms almost more than the orgasms themselves. Sex is a lot of fun, and the journey more fun than the destination, although the latter is a lot of fun too. :D

The study was specific about the time it takes to become erect again after a climax. Thanks for the info. :)
 
Well, hubby doesn't often get raring to go again the same night. However, it's more because climaxes give him headaches (he thinks its cause he holds his breath during sex), and so he pretty much just wants to sleep afterwards. I can recall times when he was still hard afterwards, and where he literally would have kept going to a second orgasam, except I get raw rather easily, and it gets uncomfortable when it takes a while.

In those instances, it would take probably 2 minutes the first time, then he would keep going for at least 10 more minutes before I told him NO NO! GET OFF OR GET OFF! (grins)
 
Well, there are lots of variables, mind you. But a good, solid average would be about 5 - 7 minutes.
 
Usualy only takes me a minute or two to get it back up. So this survey thing says I'm supposed to wait twenty minutes?? Hah!!


:p
 
Getting it back

One of my former boyfriends, one time out of three would cum and stay hard and if I didn't get raw, he would be able to cum again, after I was almost ready to pass out.

If he went down, it would take30-45 minutes of cuddling and toying with each other.

Other men I have know have fast recharge times with a little oral from me

But ya know, if the first time was good, really really good, who cares...I am floating<laughing>. I am happy to just be held and kissed.

It is this kind of study that gives credence to my thoughts that women should have harems, not men :)

You aren't more lubricated after he orgasms? When I orgasm the woman has a lot more lubrication.

Well, the trick is not to let it get soft in the first place, which I think most men could do if they wanted to and were careful for about a minute after their orgasms. I think men are conditioned mentally to go soft, and women expect this.
 
Recharge????? When did we start plugging our men in?

Just stay there Babe and let me put you on recharge LMFAO.

I agree with all the people that say it depends on where their mind set is. Most of it comes down to how badly THEY want to go again, and what we women do to them to get their minds back into it. Sex isn't just physical it's all about the mind too, and Gilly Bean I know how your hubby feels, you see I'm one hell of a noise maker when having sex and to try to control that I end up holding my breath sometimes, and yes you do get headaches.

Also I know of a few guys that stay hard after masturbating and yet when they climax with a woman it takes them longer to get hard again.

Like anything in life, all men and their dicks are different ... and Thank God they are too :)

If you are in my harem, Ian, then I just need a harem of one:)

Works for me!!

I don't know about harems but it usually takes me about 5-15 minutes, that is with a little outside stimulation :)

But I imagine it's not quite the same for everyone

Let's see my man is 37 ... and he does not require 37 minutes to recharge at all.

My man is amazing ... he seems to surprise me every time we ;) ... I was actually the one who said no one of those nights... I was tired & I needed a break to recover.

What a man *whew ... *:D
 
Between the first and second? Sometimes I don't go down at all. No more than a few minutes. But I get more pleasure out of extended play where she cums a lot.

You mean that you don't have a harem, Juicylips? I must be way ahead of the game. I always maintain a harem. :D
 
For the sake of science

I timed myself this morning. I don't usually masturbate twice in a row within the same hour, because it is not as enjoyable as sex with a partner. But this morning I was curious so I let myself lose my erection then timed how long it took me to get erect again while watching a video. It took 9 minutes. I am sure that with the help of a woman instead of a video I could easily cut that in half or better.

What's more, again in the furtherance of scientific knowledge, I pushed hard to see how fast I could climax. I don't usually do that as I like to take my time, but this time I worked hard at it and managed to orgasm in 15 minutes. Oh the sacrifices I make for science! :D

So there you have it; I am 47 years old and it doesn't take me 47 minutes to "recharge" regardless of how you measure it. :p
