Female recovery time

[Landon_1980]

My gf needs recovery time after she orgasms (almost like a man). I don't mind waiting for her to recover, just wondering if this was normal?

Sometimes I need a lot of recovery time, other times I'm ready to go only moments after. Both ends of the spectrum are completely normal.

It depends on how intense the orgasm was and what brought it on. If it was a particularly powerful one, especially from oral, I do sometimes need a minute or three to catch my breath, come back down to earth, and let sensitivity return to a more manageable level; things get extremely sensitive, sometimes overly so. If it's from PIV, I'm usually good to keep going without much interruption so long as he doesn't mind the quivering "I feel too good to move" thing.

Take it as a compliment. If she's that "moved," you did something very right.

My girl gets over-sensitive from oral, so once she's had her cookie, or gotten close to one, she's got to recover before anymore clitoral stimuli is applied. She's completely game for PIV, however, so that's when it's my turn for a cookie, then recovery time is a moot point.

Refractory periods vary widely. I only need a minute or two, but some people need hours. It's perfectly normal.

I'm another "ranger". Could be a matter of minutes before I'm back to begging, or whining to be left alone for just a little bit longer.

I also follow a male pattern, after an orgasm I need half an hour or more to recover. I'm not over-sensitive, don't mind continuing to participate until my partner finishes, but I can't orgasm again - my brain needs time to build up more neurotransmitters or something.

ditto.
once i have my orgasm, i'm pretty much done in for a while.
Ever since i had my son <c-section even> i get overly sensitive - to the point hurting. Not entirely sure why considering it was c-section, dr says its normal and not to worry.

If you happen to be breastfeeding, that affects your hormones and sensitivity.

Well.... I usually like some time to catch my breath mainly, and maybe have a drink to cool my throat after all the panting. Pf course, if left alone I'll lay there quivering, spasming, and jumping some, but its usually only for a few minutes. I seem to get a bit more sensitive afterward, but it usually just makes me orgasm, sooner and harder if I continue to have sex. Recovery time after several sessions with little to no time between them will eventually leave me a passed out wet starfish that takes some doing to get me recovered so I can go on.

Thanks for letting me know its normal. Wednesday after she finished, I asked her if there was any other reason beside the sensitivity for her needing time to recover. She said that she just like to relax and enjoy the feeling. So that makes me feel pretty good! And even though we have to take breaks it always worth it in the end.

recovery or ?

This is just my own personal concern when I read this. I want to please my partner and he wants me to have orgasms. Not just him, most men I have been intimate with want to validate their lovemaking prowess by bringing me to many orgasms over and over. Then I feel, because guys are goal oriented and want action/results that I should keep firing them out or I will disappoint them after their efforts to please. What I really want is a slow build and touching all over, teasing and almost orgasming and no pressure to perform the orgasm show. I think the reason lots of women fake it is so they won't let their men down. We don't want to be thought of dysfunctional any more than you do.

I even tell men that orgasms are not the most important thing to me, it's the whole experience but they believe I just haven't experienced their expertise yet and they know better. I can give myself orgasms and it's a selfish pleasure. What I want are visuals and sensations that can give me plenty to masturbate to later. Of course I want the orgasm with him, too, but please not the pressure of having to pretend to have a bunch of them quickly because he wants me to and I don't want to let him down.

landon, i was gonna say that if she says she needs to recover, you should take it as a compliment--but i see in your last post you already know that! :> my wife similarly likes to bask in the afterglow and stop being quite so sensitive.

I like to lie back and wait for the pulsating to subside. There is nothing worse than being robbed of that few minutes by your SO jumping on you and penetrating you so he can cum.

I like a few minutes without touching that area, just to relax and let my mind and body get back into sync again.

You must be doing something right though. congrats

Try a massage. . .

A long time ago, I had a boyfriend (now husband) that would rub and massage my body during my recovery time.

He would start with my shoulders and work his way down my body, ending with my feet. It was absolutely wonderful! My senses were already heightened after the orgasms. My breathing was heavy, while my body was slick and tingling. He would apply pressure in some spots and feather touches in other spots. It would relax me enough that I would have intense mini-orgasms when he got to my feet!

AAAAHHHH, the memories!
