Why cant I have more than one orgasm during a period of intercourse

	Asked by Unregistered (Male; 22; USA ) on Mon 04, Aug 2008 07:14pm
	Why can i have more than one orgasm during a period of intercourse. I am wondering if it is because my penis is not very round or long. I believe with a full erection i might be 5 inches long

	Answer by Dr Paul S, MD (doctor) on Mon 04, Aug 2008 07:54pm: Hi there. Males enter a period of 'refractoriness' after a period of orgasm which is characterized by sudden drop in libido and penile detumiscence (loss of erection capability). This is natural and biologic, and has nothing to do with the size of the male sexual organ. This is contrasted with that of a female who can have multiple orgasms in a given time. The reason for the difference is unclear up to this time. Regards.
