Discuss multiple orgasms in women. What consequences does this capability potentially have for male partners?

What will be an ideal response?


Masters and Johnson discovered that, unlike men, women do not have a refractory period. Hence, if stimulated after climaxing, a woman can immediately be aroused and move back into the excitement phase allowing her to experience multiple orgasms. If men wish to give their partners multiple orgasms, they should most likely use hand-genital or mouth-genital stimulation techniques instead of intercourse because most men do not have the endurance to continue thrusting for long periods of time. Also, male partners should realize that just because a female partner is capable of achieving multiple orgasms, it does not mean that that should be the goal of sexual performance. Male partners should also take note that some women who are capable of multiple orgasms might be satisfied with just one and might not wish to continue. Research shows that men also experience multiple orgasms and in some cases, men have developed this capacity over time after becoming aware of the possibility.
