1) biology. Ours is more challenging. Men become physically exhausted after orgasm 2) age 3) psychology of both partners: How interested a man is in seeing his partner climax, how patient he is, and the woman's psychological condition (how comfortable she is with her partner, past hurt in relationships etc...). Another thing to keep in mind is that while men climax more easily, like us their orgasms vary in intensity and satisfaction level.
