I read somewhere that if a guy holds back too much it can lead to erectile disfunction. Perhaps this may be why his recovery time is taking longer.

I been doing edging for years and never change my recovery time at all. The edging can increase the amount of the load and the force it comes out it pretty intense feeling.

I'm a 53 year old male. My ability/desire to ejaculate multiple times in a day has definitely diminished. That's not to say I don't get aroused - that function (erections, erotic thought) remains high. The volume of ejaculate is slightly diminished and depends on how long it's been since the last one. I'd say it's about 1 to 2 teaspoons (which is the world average). There is a noticeable reduction in the number of contractions during orgasm (which probably accounts for the reduced volume). I have noticed that the quicker I reach orgasm, the easier it is to recover. So if I cum within 2 -3 minutes of penetration then I can be ready again within a few hours. If I have intercourse (or masturbate) for more than 15 minutes, the recovery will take much longer and achieving orgasm through intercourse will be exponentially more difficult (sometimes I'll even have to pull out and finish by hand). I'd say 2 to 3 ejaculations per week is ideal at my age and health (allowing more recovery time increases the pleasure of stimulation and makes ejaculation easier).
