I've often wondered how long a man, truly, can be aroused. As a woman, I know the time is long - I can be aroused for hours and hours, like a slow simmering pot. There doesn't even have to be an orgasm near the end - so long as the arousal doesn't reach that state of “critical mass”, it's not a requirement to have an orgasm. Arousal, in and of itself, is a pleasurable state.
