Why can't I stay hard after finishing?

Do all erections stop after ejaculation occurs? Yep, though how long it takes isn't the same for everyone, says Simhan. He explains: “Erections are timed to decrease following orgasm in people with penises. They then go through a period called 'latency' which prevents them from building another erection.

There’s no hard and fast rule for how long a penis should remain erect, explains urologist Jay Simhan, MD, associate chair of the department of urology at Einstein Healthcare Network in Philadelphia. “Naturally, without being on any medications, the average erection for an average person would be roughly 10 minutes,” says Simhan. “Of course, there are plenty of people that fall well above (or below) that average.” Why isn’t there a concrete figure for this? It’s hard to pin down a specific figure because there are many factors — physical and psychological — that can affect the duration of an erection. Is it possible to have an erection that’s ‘too fast’? Yes, though what constitutes ‘too fast’ depends on whom you ask and what their desired endgame is. If you’re unable to stay erect long enough to have satisfying penetrative sex, then that’s considered too fast — assuming you and your partner care to have penetrative sex, of course. If you’re trying to conceive, then not being able to maintain an erection long enough to ejaculate would be considered too fast. Otherwise, how long your erection lasts shouldn’t matter. You don’t need an erection to have satisfying sex or to achieve orgasm, and sex isn’t just about penetration anyway. *mic drop* If vaginal intercourse is your endgame, here’s some perspective: Research shows that P-in-V sex typically only lasts 5.4 minutes . What about an erection that’s ‘too long’? Yep — 4 hours is too long, and it’s called priapism. Priapism is a medical emergency. Without treatment there’s a possibility of permanent erectile dysfunction (ED) and tissue death. Yikes! There are two types of priapism. Other symptoms depend on the type: Ischemic priapism. This type typically presents with pain and an erect shaft with a soft glans — aka head.

This type typically presents with pain and an erect shaft with a soft glans — aka head. Non-ischemic priapism. This one isn’t painful, but while the shaft is erect, it isn’t fully rigid. If you have an erection that lasts longer than 4 hours, go to the nearest emergency room or urgent care center. A doctor or other healthcare professional can determine the type of priapism and the cause, as well as recommend appropriate treatment. Causes, BTW, are many and pretty random. They range from trauma to the area and underlying medical conditions, to certain medications, to the toxic effects from a scorpion or spider bite. See? Random. Do all erections stop after ejaculation occurs? Yep, though how long it takes isn’t the same for everyone, says Simhan. He explains: “Erections are timed to decrease following orgasm in people with penises. They then go through a period called ‘latency’ which prevents them from building another erection. Latency periods are short in young, healthy people and can be much longer the older they get.” Can you have more than one erection in a single session? Yes and no. You may be able to become erect more than once, but you likely won’t be able to ejaculate, or come, without experiencing a latency period. Remember: Orgasm and ejaculation are very different things. Biology dictates how much you can ejaculate in one session, but if you’re having a good time and enjoy what you’re feeling, you can definitely orgasm more than once. Is there anything you can do to make your erections last longer? “Sure, there are old tricks like the ‘start-stop’ method,” says Simhan. “Or there are prescription medications that can be given to help patients who lose their erection too quickly due to early ejaculation.” The start-stop technique is also referred to as “edging,” which involves stimulating the penis until you’re about to orgasm and then stopping all sexual stimulation until the urge passes. Repeating this several times per sesh can help you learn to control and delay orgasm so your erection lasts longer. You can use this method with a partner or solo. There’s also the squeeze technique, which is pretty much the same idea, except that you hold the tip of the penis until the sensation to climax subsides. Some other tips that might help: Wear a cock ring.

Use a penis pump.

Try to hold off orgasm.

Is this something you can talk to a doctor about? Absolutely! Everyone deserves a fulfilling sex life. If the duration of your erections is causing you stress, impacting your sex life, or preventing you and your partner from being able to conceive, make an appointment with a healthcare provider. They can help diagnose an underlying condition that may be impacting your ability to stay hard. If you suspect a psychological issue could be to blame, like stress, anxiety, or relationship woes, ask your provider for a referral to a sex therapist. You can also find someone local through the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists (AASECT).
