You must have been through this situation. After a hot session in the bed, you might want to call it a night but what if she wants a second round? Will you be ready for it? You know that it can take real work for you to get in the mood again. But how long should you wait till you can get in action again? We got the answer for you from sexologist Dr V Raina.
How much time does it take to have sex again?
You should know that all they show in movies where one is able to ejaculate three or four times in one session is not realistic. Unlike women, men should take in account their refractory period before they can consider penetrating again. Refractory period is the time lapse between initial orgasm and the time when you are able to experience an additional orgasm. While there is no data on how long your refractory period can last, there are estimates that it ranges from 30 minutes to 24 hours. The refractory period is only likely to increase with age suggests a study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine. And if you are all charged up, here are 6 ways to turn your woman for a second round of sex.
What makes it so difficult for you to become hard?
While scientists are not sure what causes latency period, there are research which suggests that it is the spike in the hormone prolactin post orgasm which hinders the ejaculation and arousal.

Additionally masturbating regularly may also be a reason why you cannot go for round two in bed.
When should you worry?
But you need to start worrying if it takes a number of days for you to recharge. It could be a sign of erectile dysfunction and you may need to consult your doctor immediately. Only a doctor will be able to figure out if lifestyle factor is causing it or is it the stress and other condition that is stopping you from getting hard.
