Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
A refractory period is the time period after ejaculation during which a man is unable to achieve another erection or ejaculation. Option A describes this phenomenon, as Sean is unable to have another ejaculation immediately following the first one. Option B describes a different issue (testicular discomfort) and option C describes premature ejaculation, not a refractory period. Option D describes a medical condition (diabetes) that may affect sexual function, but not specifically the refractory period.
