The time a man needs to wait before being ready for "round 2," often referred to as the refractory period, varies significantly.
According to studies, this period can range dramatically based on age and individual differences.
-
Age is a significant factor. An 18-year-old male might only need about 15 minutes, while a man in his 70s could require around 20 hours.
-
The average for all men is approximately half an hour (30 minutes).
-
Individual variation: Some men experience very short refractory periods (less than 10 seconds), while others may have none at all, although this is less common.
Therefore, it is impossible to give a definitive answer. The wait time depends on the individual man and his age.
Age Group | Approximate Refractory Period |
---|---|
18-Year-Old Male | ~15 minutes |
Average Male | ~30 minutes |
70-Year-Old Male | ~20 hours |
