Experts say sex lasting more than 13 minutes is “too long” and that a lightning encounter of only 3-7 minutes is quite adequate.
A survey of 50 members of the Society for Sex Therapy and Research, an industry group for sex counsellors drawing in a variety of “psychologists, physicians, social workers, marriage/family therapists and nurses,” asked them what they considered the ideal length for a sexual encounter to be.
They mostly indicated that sex lasting from 3-7 minutes was “adequate,” and from 7-13 minutes “desirable.” However, more than 13 minutes was “too long.”
They did concede that sex lasting only 1-2 minutes was “too short.”
A psychology professor with the group explains that he hopes the results will encourage couples not to think there is anything wrong with the most pathetically fleeting of encounters:
“Today’s popular culture has reinforced stereotypes about sexual activity.
Many men and women seem to believe the fantasy of… all-night-long intercourse.
This seems a situation ripe for disappointment and dissatisfaction.
We hope this survey will dispel fantasies and encourage men and women with realistic data.”
Advice sure to keep people happy and content with their sex lives, and away from expensive counselling services.
With preliminaries it lasts some 30 minutes before the interest dies down.
Intercourse itself however, doesn’t really go above 5 minutes.
If after all the fondling, kissing and oral sex you aren’t very aroused and ready to pop soon, then truth be told you are doing something very wrong.
There’s really no way around it.
alot of the bs here is great
Well, then I’m doomed.
My “preliminars” requires from 20 to 40 minutes… sex itself lasts for 30 minutes per round, with 2 or 3 rounds in most cases…
Well, according to those guys, I’m a sex beast. Nice.
I bet thats all the “experts” could muster, thus that being the “adequate” time. I’ve had long outstanding sex before, longer is better if you can last that long. Theres obviously a minute, but 15 minutes doesn’t cut it in my book.
All night isn’t a fantasy. It’s the result of several sessions of 3-7 min. sex.
