A man can ejaculate multiple times in one sitting, but it varies greatly due to the refractory period, the time needed to recover, which can range from minutes to hours depending on age, health, and individual factors. Some men can experience "condensed" multiple orgasms (2-4 in minutes), while others need significant time, but there's no set number, and frequent ejaculation is generally safe and can even have health benefits.
Results: Few men are multiorgasmic: <10% for those in their 20s, and <7% after the age of 30. The literature suggests 2 types of male multiple orgasms: "sporadic" multiorgasms, with interorgasmic intervals of several minutes, and "condensed" multiorgasms, with bursts of 2-4 orgasms within a few seconds to 2 minutes.
Yes, in most cases we do (provided that the man is not wearing a condom/wearing a very thin condom) realize when a man ejaculates inside the vagina. Contrary to what men believe, it is a very vivid sensation and easily felt, so it is unlikely that a woman is going to miss it.
Ejaculating twice daily during sexual intercourse is generally considered normal. However, ejaculating more than twice a day through masturbation is often discouraged, as it can overstimulate nerves, negatively affect health, and lead to physical fatigue.
According to some studies, 18-year-old males have a refractory period of about 15 minutes, while those in their 70s take about 20 hours.
The time to wait for "round two" varies greatly, typically ranging from a few minutes to several hours or even days, depending on age, health, and individual factors, with men generally needing a longer refractory period than women, though women can experience sensitivity or psychological downtime. Younger individuals often recover faster, while older individuals usually need more time (sometimes 12-24 hours) to become aroused again.
While men can't have multiple ejaculatory orgasms with no refractory period, you can climax several times in a row if you don't release any semen. The technique is known as non-ejaculatory multiple orgasm, or NEMO.
It takes about 56–72 days to build up a full load of sperm. Sperm are produced continuously and develop in the testes. They then mature in the epididymis, which may take up to 10 to 14 days. Factors like age, hormones, and ejaculation frequency can affect recovery time.
Masturbating is a perfectly normal, healthy pastime. And so long as it remains enjoyable, there's no upper limit to the number of times you can do it.
Ejaculating 5 times a day is generally considered normal and healthy, as there's no specific "right" frequency, with many men experiencing benefits like stress relief, better sleep, and potential prostate health advantages; however, "excessive" is subjective, so listen to your body, ensure it's not causing physical irritation, impacting daily life, or driven by compulsion, as then it might be too much for you, but the frequency itself isn't inherently bad.
Women's pleasure is highly individual but often centers on the clitoris, with many enjoying diverse stimulation like pressure, vibration, and different patterns, alongside emotional connection, kissing, and exploring other sensitive areas like inner thighs, ears, and nipples, with communication being key for shared satisfaction. Techniques like "Angling" during intercourse are scientifically shown to increase pleasure for many, emphasizing a holistic approach beyond just penetration.
In sum, based on this brief overview of evidence from only three different domains, we feel that it is justified to conclude that currently women, and particularly heterosexual women, are less likely to experience sexual pleasure than men, and that for them, sex may come at a greater cost than for men.
While there's no way to know whether someone has orgasmed without asking or being told, understanding some common physiological reactions may offer clues as to whether you've witnessed the big O. Usually, during an orgasm the person has an intense pleasurable feeling that spreads throughout the body.

As a general rule, the male refractory period is longer than the female refractory period. The average range for men is between a few minutes and two hours before they can ejaculate again; for women, it's between a few seconds and a few minutes before they can achieve another climax.
An erection can last anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours. There isn't really an average time for how long an erection should last. In general, though, the average amount of time a person has an erection during sexual intercourse before they ejaculate is about seven minutes.
Doctors usually can't tell if someone has been masturbating (touching or rubbing their genitals because they like the way it feels). The only way doctors might know is if the area was irritated enough to make it red or a darker shade than usual.
If you don't release sperm for 30 days, the body reabsorbs unused sperm, or it's released via nocturnal emissions ("wet dreams"), with no significant health risks, though some experience testicular discomfort ("blue balls") from arousal without release. While some believe in benefits, scientific evidence is limited, though longer abstinence can slightly alter sperm quality (potentially improving it for conception after short periods, but decreasing it with very long storage).
According to the International Society for Sexual Medicine, younger men may only need a few minutes to recover after sex, while for older guys, it may take as long as 12 to 24 hours.
The body breaks down unused sperm, which does not build up to trigger further problems.
Most medical professionals say that while edging might slightly increase the volume of semen during a single session, it isn't considered a clinically proven method to significantly boost sperm count for fertility purposes.
Once they had their average time range, the study's researchers looked at satisfaction among both partners. They concluded that two minutes or less is considered too short (bummer), three to seven minutes is adequate for most (cool), seven to 13 minutes is desirable (sweet), and 10 to 30 minutes is too long (ouch).
Ultimately, there isn't a standard number of times to ejaculate in a day. Some men may comfortably ejaculate once per day, some may do so multiple times a day, while others may be comfortable going for more extended periods without ejaculation.
