It seems to me that sex does not have a clear-cut ending for women as it does for men.
For women who do not orgasm, there is clearly no clear-cut event that signals the end of the sex session.
For women who do orgasm, climax does not seem to signal any sort of end, because they can almost immediately continue having sex, and deriving pleasure from it.
I think it is quite different for men. Orgasm signals quite an abrupt change, and for most men, I think, it results in the end of that sex session, at least for a while.
Of course there are individual differences among women and among men, but on average, does the above description hold?
So, given the lack of a clear-cut ending event for many women, what makes those women “decide” that a sex session is over: Physical tiredness, time constraints? What else?
I’m not a woman, but I know this one. Pain, primarily from friction, and physical exhaustion eventually negate the pleasure. Have I been lucky, or what?
Why? There is still a lot of pleasure in contact after orgasm. Cuddling, kissing, using non-coital efforts to encourage further orgasms in the woman if she is in the mood.
If sex ended with orgasm, it would not be nearly as much fun.
(And, of course, some of those other activities can lead to further cycles of coitus. One is not required to go to sleep to “recover.”)
Sex ends when I’ve had a couple of orgasms and fall asleep. I’m like a man that way; once I get off, I want to pass out. No cuddling required. Just let me sleeeep…sweet sweet sleep…
On those occasions wherein marathon-style sex has occurred, sex eventually tapers off out of physical discomfort, as A. R. Cane noted. The same friction that makes it fun eventually makes it hurt.
For women who don’t orgasm, or don’t orgasm often, I have no idea. I guess they call a halt to proceedings when they’re bored. Or something.
I had an old girl friend that told me that when she orgasmed from anal sex it was so intense, she had to stop and take a breather or the feeling overloaded her senses to the point where it became almost painful if her partner contiunued.
Hm. It’s over when the post-coital cuddling ends and the reaching for tissue/toilet paper/warm wet washcloth starts.
I have been a female piggy and considered it “over” for me after I come. Then I’m just waiting and encouraging him to, so that I can lie there, sated, cuddling.
If I’ve had a little orgasm, then it isn’t over until I’ve come again, harder.
