Rethinking the Refractory Period

The refractory period, often viewed as an inevitable time of decline after orgasm, is challenged as a cultural myth rather than a physiological certainty. Many believe that ejaculation leads immediately into this downtime, but this notion has been shown to be misleading and limiting. The discussion highlights how this expectation is deeply ingrained in individuals' brains, creating a scripted response that may not universally apply. Instead, sexual experiences can be fluid and varied, with individuals encouraged to explore their own sensations of "enoughness" rather than adhering to societal expectations.
