Just proof that no matter how hot the chick, someone is tired of it.

In biology, the term Coolidge effect describes the re-arousal of a male animal by the introduction of a new female. The sex difference that the effect refers to is explained by Bateman's principle.

The Coolidge effect has sometimes been mentioned as an explanation of why pornographic images (of the female) are exciting to the male when first purchased, but after repeated viewing can "lose its effect." The phenomenon may also explain why male pornographic actors may use the services of a fluffer. Human males experience a post-ejactulary refractory period after sex. They are incapable of engaging in sex with the same female after ejaculation and require time to recover full sexual function. In popular reference, the Coolidge effect is the well-documented phenomenon that the post ejaculatory refractory period is reduced or eliminated if a separate female becomes available. (see B R Hergenhahn and Matthew Olson, Introduction to Theroies of Personality , Sixth Edition, pp396-397,Prentice Hall, ISBN 0--13-099226-7.) This effect is cited by evolutionary biologists as a reason why males are more likely to desire sex with a greater number and variety of partners than females
