Considering my relative lack of varied experience (as in seriously limited number of former partners), it's by far the safest way to be. I can't really make any claims on how my abilities would or wouldn't work on most people, so I... don't. Of course, I'd hope they translate well – as it's always fun to make someone else feel good (and this applies to so much more than just sex: I take a similar approach when I cook, for example).

In-deed.

I know of a woman who had 20 orgasms in about 20 minutes. Women are lucky in that regard...they can go on and on and on and on...like a friggin energizer bunny.

Us males? You get one shot off and then you're useless for at elast and hour. I've heard that some very few (lucky) men are capable of multiples, but that is EXTREEMLY rare. Frankly I considered it a myth for a long time.

Oh, I never claimed I could gave women multiple orgasms. Heck, I'd be real pleased with myself if I pulled that off

Hmmm, half an hour? I've been known to manage again in 10-15 minutes (although it's usually not as good as if you get more rest, obviously, and more than twice is pretty much impossible)

^^No, I'm not suggesting you did.

I am dubious of these (almost certainly widly exaggerated) tales of Olympian sexual exploits that one tends to find online.

You'd be surprised.

I've managed to get myself off about three times in an hour or so before. Consideri g how powerful my orgasms are (usually I can do with just one, and even a mediocre one will have me squirming in delight for a good 20 seconds), I have to be some kind of horny to pull it off.

How would you keep count? At one a minute, that kind of over-stimulation sounds kind of painful, to be honest. You'd probably be so sore from that you wouldn't be able to sit down (or cross your legs) without discomfort for a few days.

You'd be surprised.

Anyway, it's a bell curve. Most women can, on a good day, get off two or three times in rapid succession; it stands to reason that people in the ninety-ninth percentile can get off a dozen times. Same goes for male ability to do it over and over again.

zeroplusalpha: Oh yeah; with my body, I notice a bit of a cramp-like or tingly feeling after a particularly strong orgasm; I imagine having 20 in 20 minutes would be like getting punched in the stomach.

Also, yeah, I wouldn't be surprised at all to find out that these sexual exploits are exaggerated slightly to either embarrass teenagers and nerdy guys, or to sell more issues of Cosmo.

No single man did it....it was a 4 on 1 scenario. And frankly, the woman in question collapsed after that..so yeah, I guess she really hit her limit. Actually, to be more procise, no man did it at all. All girls night.

Oh, no, it's not that bad. More than five will give you a pretty strong headache and cramped muscles, but it's not like you can't just fall asleep afterwards.

Furiko: For me, the first one feels as squishy as you'd expect, but the second and third are pretty much dry orgasms and they feel niiiiiice.  ^*

^{I should try for a fourth at some point...hopefully my pOnOs won't be too sensitive after a good 45 minutes or so of stroking.}

As for refractory time, it takes me about 10 minutes orgasm-to-orgasm if I'm horny enough.

I get the crampy, headachey thing myself if I've been going at it long enough; by then, it's usually late at night on a weekend, and my pillow and blankie are my best friends.

Multiple orgasms for a woman are not mythological. I state this from first-hand experience. What makes them unusual is that it generally requires serious control on the part of the guy, because he has to keep doing what he was doing instead of coming, himself.

*shifty eyes* Yeees... 'guy'...

With masturbation it is easier to keep on doing what you were doing, that is true.

Madrugada: Yup; even if you have a penis, the key is to keep going. Don't roll ovr and fall asleep, just keep rubbing away and doing what you were doing till the contractions hit again. Repeat until tired and sore.

Furiko: Hmmmmm? Oh, right. No shame in having sex with your best friend, after all. :D  ^*

^{And yes, I consider A Date With Rosie Palms a subtrope of Screw Yourself, or at least a sibling trope to it. I mean, even if you're just doing it with yourself, it's still sex and it's still great.}

And you knew this woman personally? And in what porntastic den of iniquity do you live?

It's not five. It's not ten. It's twenty, in as many minutes, according to Trash Man's sordid little anecdote. That's going to give you more than a headache and cramps.

And considering that overstimulation will make you crampy all by itself, orgasm or not, well...

(One time, when I was with my first girlfriend, I got so turned on that I thought I was having stomach cramps. It turned out to be blue balls. I'd never had problems with overstimulation before that, and it scared me a bit.)

zeroplusalpha, why do you hate America sex?

Bon: He (she?) does kind of have a point there; orgasms use a lot of energy, and they're bound to tire out your lower abdominal muscles if you have enough of them.

It me that this thread is full of people with almost no sexual experience telling the rest of the world what's possible or impossible in the realm of sex.

I am deeply envious of those who have no refractory period. It gets painful for a while after, if I so much as sneeze.

Morven: Any points in particular? I hope I haven't spread any misinformation or anything, but then, most of what I've said is from my own experience.

EI: Yikes. I don't have that problem, but I could see how it'd get to be annoying.

@EI: it's definitely an important point to be made that people differ. A lot. And matters of a sexual nature can differ a lot from person to person.

I (male) have had multiple orgasms; several climaxes in quick succession. Not very often, perhaps three times in my entire 36 years. I wasn't in any state to tell, but I suspect that there was next to nothing produced for the second time.

Although I get very much more sensitive after orgasm, it's not painful if gentle stimulation continues, and that was the circumstances.

@Lee: I was more referring to the statements that female multiple orgasms were a myth, or if not that, then an extreme rarity. Despite copious available information available a quick Google away, including from scientific sources, I'm sure. And there have been other eyeroll-inducing statements in this thread, that's for sure.
