Regarding sex, it is common to think that men and women behave and feel very differently . It is said that they feel excited by different stimuli, have a different perception of sex or even that men are much more interested in intercourse than women. However, many of these differences, if they are real, can be explained as a matter of quantity, rather than being part of a clear and unambiguous separation between the sexes.

Relative differences, not absolute. We know, for example, that both men and women can become breastfeeding and that it is possible to develop genitals of the opposite sex by going through a certain life stage.

Similarly, one of the great bastions of female sexuality is the ability to have multiple orgasms , but it seems that it is not as exclusive as commonly believed. Men can also become multi-orgasmic , if necessary, either spontaneously or after having gone through a learning period.

Multigasmic men and refractory period

Although it may be wrong to say so, the achievement of orgasm may be valued as something defined by its quantity, rather than its quality. Thus, the multiorgasm is no longer a kind of mythological creature belonging to women but something much more anodyne: more than one orgasm in a very short period of time .

This ability to experience several bursts of pleasure in a row disappears when the so-called refractory period occurs, which is the period of time between an orgasm and the point where you can have another one. The refractory period has a chemical imprint on the brain, since during this phase a sensation of relaxation and numbness appears, probably related to the release of oxytocin and prolactin, a hormone that cancels out the effects of dopamine and therefore lowers sexual arousal.

This means that multiorgasmic people are those who manage to circumvent or considerably reduce the refractory period , which if present would act as a temporary wall between one orgasm and the next, so that the accumulated excitement continues to be maintained.

The path of tantra is not the only one

For some reason, men are more likely to experience persistent refractory periods with high frequency, and that leads to limitations in reaching multigasm. However, this propensity is of a rather statistical nature, and today we know that it is perfectly possible for the male refractory period to be reduced .

There are certain techniques based on physical and mental control that can help make the body adopt alternative dynamics in which the orgasm does not lead to the refractory period, and are applicable to both sexes. Among them, those provided by the tradition of tantric sex, although it is not the only way to achieve this result, since there are people accustomed to having multiple orgasms without having to follow teachings.
