After orgasm, men and women experience different changes in libido and sexual arousal:
Men
Men typically experience a refractory period, which is a time when they are not sexually responsive and cannot reach orgasm again. This period can last from minutes to days and usually lengthens with age. Men's sexual arousal and desire also decrease more quickly and consistently than women's. Prolactin, a hormone linked to sleepiness and sexual satisfaction, may temporarily decrease men's desire for sex by repressing dopamine, a chemical that's important for motivation and desire.
Women
Women may experience a brief refractory period or none at all. Some women may be able to return to the orgasm phase and experience multiple orgasms with further sexual stimulation. Women's orgasmic pleasure is also linked to a decrease in genital temperature after orgasm, but they may maintain their sexual arousal and desire. Women also typically release more oxytocin than men during orgasm, which is a hormone that can help relieve pain and promote feelings of connection
