Is this normal?

by sskoo, Sep 20, 2009 03:17PM
My husband still has an erect penis after ejaculation. We are both in our fifties and have been married just over a year. We were both widowed and I had only had sex during this time with a couple men I dated. I know my previous husband didn't and I don't recall if anyone else did. I'm questioning if he is trying to make me feel good by faking an  orgasm or is this normal for some men?

Hi.

When it comes to sex, there's no such thing as "normal." How could your partner "fake" an orgasm? You'd know if he wasn't ejaculating, wouldn't you?

Every man is different. Some men's erections go down immediately after ejaculation, and some within a few second, while others stick around for more fun. Relax and stop worrying and judging your partner. These are the enemies of good sex. Dr. J

My boyfriend has the same thing, it isn't a faked orgasm as he ejaculates. As the doc says, he's just sticking around for more fun so stop worrying and enjoy!
