Does the effect not apply to women? Adambisset 21:01, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Not particularly. This effect is based on evolutionary propagation of the species. Once a woman has had intercourse, it is of little advantage to have intercourse with other males, while the more females a male mates with, the more his genes will propagate. --Thoric 20:48, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

It does apply to females too. The opening blurb needs to reflect this. reference: http://www.reuniting.info/science/coolidge_effect . Secondly, the statement "all species" is wrong. It should read "all mammals" as this is the class that contains all the species that have been experimentally tested 202.72.159.82 (talk) 09:39, 17 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I'd like the question the responsibility of pheromones in this effect. A man can sometimes trick himself into imagining that his partner is someone else, and successfully orgasm a second time soon after the first time. --Thoric 20:50, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I'm sure that many are already aware of this, but I feel compelled to state it anyway: males can have multiple orgasms and can have orgasms immediately after ejaculating. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.97.34.42 (talk) 00:20, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
