Captain1117 wrote:One of the pluses of an implant is the ability of a man to continue with sex even after ejaculation.
During ejaculation, a bunch of hormones get released and many men feel a need to relax and slow down.
Question for implanted guys..do you feel like stopping once you have climaxed once?
Thanks, everyone.

I refer to the loss of libido in a man immediately after orgasm (and the well-known refractory period). I am wondering if it is at all similar to the loss of libido due to the cancer treatment known as ADT (Androgen Deprivation Therapy or Testosterone suppression). I was just diagnosed with Prostate Cancer and being presented with treatment options and ADT is one of them. It seems to me that the permanent libido loss with ADT (by by drugs or by orchiectopy), if the same as the refractory loss of sexual desire and enerty, could let me have a preview of what awaits me. Or if it is less than or worse than...
Is the temporary post-coital "slump" a man feels comparable to the libido loss of ADT?
Thank you for considering my question.

Sorry to hear about your diagnosis Lost Sheep
Hope you get the best treatment and recover soon.
On your question...I do not have any idea about ADT but the general slump seems to be a combination of the following
The refractory period is the time immediately after orgasm and ejaculation, where a man is either physiologically unable to be erect, psychologically disinterested in sex, or both. It can last from minutes to days and varies person to person.
One theory is that various hormones released during and after orgasm — including oxytocin, prolactin and others — all play specific roles in limiting arousal and preventing erection during the refractory period.
Interestingly, some of these hormones, such as prolactin, are released in greater amounts after sexual intercourse than after masturbation.
But experts aren’t sure why the refractory period is a thing. Still, they are aware that how long this period lasts isn’t related to your testosterone production, performance during sex or potency in general. So, there’s that.
There can be a lot of variables involved in the equation of a refractory timetable, but three that we know for sure are:
Age. According to the International Society for Sexual Medicine, younger men may only need a few minutes to recover after sex, while for older guys, it may take as long as 12 to 24 hours.
Cardiovascular health. Erections are all about healthy blood flow. When you feel sexually aroused, your penis becomes erect as blood flows into your corpora cavernosa — the two areas of soft, sponge-like tissue that form the bulk of your penis.
The arousal factor. If you’re in the mood for sex, you might feel ready to go again in relatively little time. However, if you’re tired or just not feeling in the mood, you may take longer to feel ready for round two.

Ask your urologist to prescribe Cabergoline (a prolactin suppressor). It's typically prescribed to post-partum women to dry up their milk if I'm not mistaken, but in men it can affect the desire to continue after orgasm, may improve refractory period and in some cases, there can be a side effect called "hyper-sexuality". I consider myself in the latter category of hyper-sexual because I can keep my interest in sex even after orgasm. As a matter of fact, despite the failure of Cabergoline to shorten my period BEFORE orgasm as I had hoped, I asked my urologist to keep prescribing it because I like the increased "desire" to have sex, even if I am not presented with opportunity for such encounters as often as I would like.
Incidentally, my Prolactin level is <1.0 ng/mL and standard range for the average male is 2.0-18.0 ng/mL.
