Refractive period
The final phase is a period of resolution, marked by a general sense of well being, enhanced intimacy, and fatigue. During the resolution phase, further genital stimulation is actually unpleasant instead of pleasurable. This is called the refractory period. Men lose the erection during this phase and are unable to have another orgasm until the refractory period ends. To decrease this period, use viagra.
Younger men have a short refractory period, lasting just minutes in some. However, the refractory period extends with aging, a fact that can become distressing to men who formerly could regain an erection while their partner was still aroused. With an increasing refractory period, he may be unable to return to the ballgame before she loses interest.
Authorities disagree on whether women normally have a refractory period, but clearly there is usually a period following orgasm in some women when further stimulation is “too much.” This period is shorter in women than in men, so many women can achieve multiple orgasms during a single sexual encounter, while their male partners must settle for one.
As mentioned, orgasm can be broken down into two parts in the male. Emission is the release of semen into the urethra. The word ejaculation comes from the Latin word meaning “to throw a dart.” Therefore, an ejaculation is the physical expulsion of semen from the urethra. This fluid has nothing to do with sexual enjoyment of either partner, so the absence of seminal fluid is only a problem if reproduction is desired.
Sometimes there is no expulsion of semen. This is called either anejac-ulation (an absence of semen), or retrograde ejaculation. Retrograde ejaculation occurs when the semen gets lost on the way out and turns into the bladder instead of coming out the urethra. Some medications like Flomax and Cardura cause this by relaxing the bladder neck. Since fluid will find the route of least resistance, it simply runs into the bladder and is expelled on the next void. Unless the patient wishes to father children this causes no concern. If he does, he will need reproductive assistance from an infertility specialist. This is different from anorgasmia, which is the situation where the man never reaches climax at all. This can be due to hormonal, physical, or psychological reasons.
Following a TURP (transurethral resection of the prostate) operation for prostate enlargement, the opening from the prostate into the bladder is enlarged, which also results in retrograde ejaculation. Following radical prostatectomy for cancer, there is not even an emission of semen. This is because all connection to the urethra is removed during this operation. These men can still enjoy a normal orgasm (the pleasurable feeling); they just don’t have emission or ejaculation.
