All three pairs of snakes have mated at least once!!!!!!!

I had a scare with the pair tonight.
After posting last time and reading all your responses about breeding on aspen, I put the pairs in the big sterilite containers with news paper. Everything went down fine, lasted a half an hour. The two seperated, but I noticed the male had not retracted "things". I waited a few more minutes, neither snake was interested in the other, so I took the female out and put her in her own cage. The male had still not retracted, and was kinda dragging his tail side-ways like he was trying to push things in.
I rushed in here, (checked the forums) looked for info about prolapses, and got the useful info on sugar. It took me about 15 minutes to get the info, and I went back in the pet room. By this time, he had gotten it back in on his own.
Does this happen frequently? My other two males did not have this problem. I know my female was not real interested in him at the beginning, and he kinda forced himself on her. Could she have "pushed him off" before he was done?
any feedback would be great

here is a pic of my female (last year 2 yrs old). Still got to upload a pic of the male. he's the same age
