… an old joke about Calvin Coolidge when he was President … The President and Mrs. Coolidge were being shown [separately] around an experimental government farm. When [Mrs. Coolidge] came to the chicken yard she noticed that a rooster was mating very frequently. She asked the attendant how often that happened and was told, “Dozens of times each day.” Mrs. Coolidge said, “Tell that to the President when he comes by.” Upon being told, the President asked, “Same hen every time?” The reply was, “Oh, no, Mr. President, a different hen every time.” President: “Tell that to Mrs. Coolidge.”
In biology and psychology, the Coolidge effect is a phenomenon seen in mammalian species whereby males (and to a lesser extent females) exhibit renewed sexual interest if introduced to new receptive sexual partners,[1][2][3][4] even after cessation of sex with prior but still available sexual partners. The evolutionary benefit to this phenomenon is that a male can fertilize multiple females. The male may be reinvigorated repeatedly for successful insemination of multiple females.[5]
Couples on average have sex quite little. I hear that sex sessions average from 5 to 10 minutes. I can never remember the unbelievably low number of times most people have sex per month. It’s so outside of my experience that it just never registers.
If you take the same “average” person, and give him access to several hot young girls, he’ll have a MUCH higher sex drive.
It’s just a biological fact.
And if he learns some modulation of his sexual energies, he can also learn to enjoy and prefer to not ejaculate, and so enjoy sex not just several times per month, but several times per day. For longer than it takes to boil an egg too.
Most guys see this fact as so completely outside of their experience that it can’t register at all.
I see it that I owe it to myself to harness the Coolidge effect. I’m not getting any younger. These boosts make a big difference to a man’s sex drive. And that makes a big difference to quality of life.

Unsure how it applies to introverts (although it surely must on a biological level] as the social responses are quite different. Jon’s sex drive seems to be on a nicely scheduled timer and hasn’t changed much from day 1. On the other hand, there are more than a few teens displaying sexual interest in him when he’s out (which he generally reacts to with confusion, mockery and/or disgust, for ex: a local checkout girl is fixated on him and he likes to go through her checkout to watch her and I glare at each other and laugh about it afterwards]; so perhaps this keeps his sex drive ticking over, even if he reserves the actual action for me. Gets charged up when he’s out, brings the charge home. Which may explain the sex consistency over five years into monogamy.
