Answer 1

1) One of the hypothesis on the reason why men have refractory periods is due to the domino effect, where the level of production of dopamine and testosterone are dampened after climax in males , and the more dopamine receptors are blocked, the longer the duration of the refractory period. At the same time the production of prolactin and serotonin increases that will counteract the arousal.
