[QUOTE=Martiju] 4 seconds?! Not to hijack - but surely at least 30? [/QUOTE] I was charitably assuming **Troy** meant the actual orgasm, not the whole act. …Of course, you may be used to thirty-second orgasms, in which case, DIAF. 😛 ---

> [@tdn](#): > > Retarded ejaculation. I really think we need a new clinical term for it. This happens to hubby sometimes. I prefer to call it “belated ejaculation” 🆒 We sometimes also use the term “serial sex”, which is what happens on, say, Saturday night when he has too much stamina. Both of us may lose steam before satisfaction is attained by him. So, he’ll say “We’ll finish later”. Maybe it’ll be early the next morning, maybe not until the next night. Sometimes it’s a 3-parter. So, while I’m not a guy, I’m sure my guy still wants to have sex even when he doesn’t orgasm. ETA: the term “serial sex” reads okay, but when you _say_ it, it conjures some weird mental images of Froot Loops; (“hey, that’s not _milk_ on there!”) ---

[QUOTE=wolf\_meister] Hell yeah. Not everything in life results in orgasms yet we still pursue those activities. [/QUOTE] What a sad, sad world in which you must live! 😉 ---

Orgasm or no orgasm, most real men, if they’re honest about it, don’t give two hoots about sex. We mainly just like to hold hands and get a warm hug now and then. 😃 ---

Hell, yeah. Have been in a situation where male orgasm was not guaranteed, and pretty much out of the question if a female orgasm was on the menu, but the sex was fecking fantastic, anyway. Long story, way TMI. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/men-would-you-still-want-to-have-intercourse-if-you-couldnt-come-from-it/403057.md?page=2)
