Question:
I was wondering how often a normal, healthy male in his 30's could achieve an orgasm. I love sex with my wife, but some times she can go for more sex,and I'm able to get an erectoin but unable to have another orgasm. In a way it bothers me that I can not go agian. I've heard thatI have to intake more vitamins is this true? Thanks for your input.

It is safe to say that the vast majority of males experience one and only one ejaculation during each sexual encounter. Men have what is called a "refractory period," which is essentially the time it takes to become physically ready to ejaculate again. Men might get a second erection during their refractory period, but are unable to ejaculate. You thought it was because of "low sperm," but that has nothing to do with the inability to ejaculate a second time, and neither would the fact that you had a vasectomy. Furthermore, there are no vitamins that would shorten your refractory period. Be a great lover in every way possible, and enjoy your wife's multiple orgasms (women do not have refractory periods). Try not to worry about trying to fix something that is not broken. Enjoy your first orgasm and anything that might follow, without thinking you should be able to do more.
