Answer 2

Orgasm releases a surge of hormones. The main one responsible for the refractory period in men is prolactin, the same hormone that stimulates breastmilk production in women (hence the name).

Answer 3

I think you’re referring to the refractory period. It’s not that it makes you “stop being horny”, so much as a biological cool-down period. People with shorter refractory periods, for instance, don’t have to stop being aroused if they’re able and willing to have subsequent orgasms
