Men - can you stay hard and continue after orgasm?

[Babatunde]

There are some porn stars like George Uhl who seem to be able to stay hard and continue pumping away after they cum. I say seem to be able to, because there are people who say this is either just editing or something.
Can you do this? If so, have you always been able to?

The ability to remain erect and continue intercourse after orgasm is something that has fascinated many people. In mainstream pornography, it often appears as though some male performers can seamlessly transition from one climax to another without a refractory period. This has led to debates about whether such stamina is natural, enhanced through pharmaceutical means, or simply the result of clever video editing techniques.


The refractory period—the time after orgasm when a person experiences a temporary inability to get another erection—is a well-documented physiological response. For most men, this period can last anywhere from a few minutes to several hours, depending on factors such as age, health, arousal levels, and even emotional state. However, some individuals seem to have a naturally shorter refractory period, allowing them to continue engaging in sexual activity soon after ejaculation.


There are several possible explanations for why some men appear to bypass this refractory phase. Some performers may use medications like Viagra or Cialis to maintain their erection despite having already orgasmed. Others may employ physical or mental conditioning techniques, such as edging, which involves bringing themselves close to climax multiple times before actually ejaculating, helping to prolong arousal and erection.
From a production standpoint, editing and camera tricks also play a significant role in creating the illusion of nonstop action. Many adult films are not shot in a single take but rather in multiple scenes that are later edited together. This means that what looks like continuous performance could actually be the result of careful planning and post-production work.


For those curious about whether they can achieve this themselves, it largely depends on individual physiology and practice. Some men can train themselves to have multiple orgasms without ejaculation through methods such as Kegel exercises and tantric techniques, while others might simply be naturally predisposed to shorter refractory periods. Understanding one’s own body and limits is key to exploring different aspects of sexual stamina and endurance.


Ultimately, while it’s impressive to see in adult films, the ability to stay hard and continue immediately after climax is not the norm for most people. What matters most is personal satisfaction and connection rather than trying to replicate what’s seen on screen.

I’ve actually experienced this a few times, but it’s rare. When I was younger, I could sometimes stay hard after orgasm if I was really turned on. Now, it’s more hit or miss. If I’ve been edging for a while, there are times when I can keep going, but most of the time, I lose sensitivity right after finishing.

I’ve read that some guys have naturally shorter refractory periods, and I think that’s definitely true. Some nights, I feel like I could go again within a couple of minutes, while other times, I need at least 15-20 minutes to recover. I also believe that diet, fitness, and mental state play a big role. When I’m well-rested and in good shape, I notice my stamina is way better.

As for porn stars, I have no doubt that a lot of them use performance enhancers. Viagra, injections, and even simple editing tricks all play a role. What looks like a guy going non-stop for 40 minutes is probably the result of multiple cuts and retakes. I don’t think it’s realistic for most men to expect to perform like that naturally.

That being said, I’d love to hear if anyone has actually trained themselves to do this consistently. If there’s a legit way to extend performance, I’d be open to trying it out.

I’ve actually managed to stay hard a few times after finishing, but it’s not something I can do every time. It usually happens when I’ve been really aroused or if I’ve been holding back for a while. If I cum too fast, I get super sensitive, and there’s no way I can keep going without a break.

From what I understand, some guys just have naturally shorter refractory periods. I have a friend who swears he can go again almost immediately, but I think that’s rare. Most of the time, I need at least a few minutes before I can get hard again. But if I’m with the right woman and the excitement is through the roof, I’ve noticed that I can sometimes push through the sensitivity and stay in the game.

I also think porn gives a lot of guys unrealistic expectations. Those performers are either on Viagra, doing injections, or the scenes are filmed over multiple hours and edited to look like one long session. It’s not realistic for most guys to perform like that naturally.

That said, I’d love to hear from anyone who’s actually trained themselves to make this happen consistently. Are there any real techniques that work, or is it just down to genetics and luck?

I think this is something that depends a lot on the situation. I’ve had moments where I stayed hard and kept going, but other times, I was completely done after finishing. For me, it’s all about arousal and how much I’ve been teasing myself before I actually cum.

One thing that’s worked for me is edging. If I hold back and stay right on the edge for a while before finishing, I sometimes find that I can stay hard longer. It’s like my body doesn’t immediately shut down because I’ve been in that high-arousal state for a long time. But if I go full release with no control, there’s no way I can keep going immediately.

I do think porn has made guys feel like this is something that should be normal, when in reality, it’s not for most men. A lot of those guys are using performance enhancers or are filmed in different takes. It’s not like they’re just going for 40 minutes straight with no break.

At the end of the day, I think the best thing a guy can do is focus on overall stamina and lasting longer, rather than worrying about staying hard after orgasm. There are plenty of ways to keep the action going without needing to be rock-hard the whole time.

I’ve had this happen a few times, but it’s not something I can just do on command. It usually happens when I’m with a woman I’m insanely attracted to, or if I’ve been edging for a while before finally finishing. If I orgasm too quickly, I get super sensitive, and there’s no way I can keep going.

I’ve read that some guys just naturally have shorter refractory periods, while others have to wait at least 10-20 minutes before they can go again. For me, it depends on my energy levels, how hydrated I am, and whether or not I’ve been exercising regularly. When I’m in great shape, I notice my recovery time is way shorter.

As for porn stars, I’m convinced that a lot of what we see is just editing and performance enhancers. Some of these guys are taking Viagra, Cialis, or even injections that force blood flow. The scenes are also shot over a long period and then edited to look like they’re going non-stop.

I think the key is not to stress about it. If it happens naturally, great. If not, there are plenty of ways to keep the action going. Women care more about overall satisfaction than whether you can immediately stay hard after finishing.

I’ve actually experienced this a couple of times, but it’s pretty rare for me. It usually happens when I’m really into the girl, like if the chemistry is crazy, or if I’ve been holding back for a long time before finally finishing. If I cum too fast or if the orgasm is really intense, then my body just shuts down and needs a break.

I’ve noticed that my recovery time is a lot shorter when I’m in good shape. If I’m eating clean, exercising, and getting enough sleep, I can get hard again much faster. But if I’ve been drinking, not sleeping well, or feeling stressed, then my refractory period is way longer.

As for porn stars, I have no doubt that most of them are using something. Whether it’s Viagra, Cialis, testosterone boosters, or even direct injections, there’s no way those guys are just naturally staying hard after cumming. Plus, most porn scenes are edited, so it’s not like they’re going nonstop in one take.

I think it’s cool if you can stay hard and keep going, but it’s not something to stress about. What matters most is how good the experience is, not whether you can perform like a porn star.
