    Are women ever finished? Men often physically can’t keep going after orgasm and need to recover, but women can get several orgasms. Is there a limit even?

      “Refractory period” is the term, and the soft limits of it affect people differently. Short answer yes everyone has a reflex that diminishes the returns on stimulation in various circumstances. That ranges from single orgasm and significant refractory period to avoid discomfort, up to cases of multiple orgasms in the same session regardless of gender. This can also change with mood and other circumstances.

      I’ve been told yes, but I’ve also been lied to about that sort of thing. So your guess is as good as mine.
