answer

There are a couple different experiences people label “multiple.”

1. You have an orgasm, you don’t stop having sex, and you have another orgasm maybe 10 minutes later.

 2. You have an orgasm and then immediately have another  (and possibly even another).

 The second situation seems to require some innate predisposition to responsiveness in order to occur reliably. The first, though, is accessible to many women.
