Sometimes a particularly steamy lovemaking session can seem to last forever.

At other times, intercourse can be over in a flash.

After such an encounter, many of us wonder 'how long does sex normally last'?

Now, Dr Brendan Zietsch, a psychologist from the University of Queensland, has sought to answer this pressing question.

In an article for The Conversation, he examined all the latest research - and found penetration can last from 33 seconds to 44 minutes when an average is taken of all the times each couple has sex.

The average time across different couples was 5.4 minutes.

Here, Dr Zietsch explains his findings, including whether wearing a condom or if the man is circumcised makes any difference...


If you're a non-scientist, you might have once asked yourself, propped against the bedhead after disappointingly quick intercourse, how long does sex 'normally' last?

A scientist, though, would phrase the same question in an almost comically obscure way: What is the mean intravaginal ejaculation latency time?

I know there's a lot more to sex than putting the penis into the vagina and ejaculating, but the rest is not always easy to define (kissing? rubbing? grinding?).

To keep things simple and specific, we'll just focus on the time to ejaculation.

In 2003, researchers showed – using artificial vaginas, artificial penises, and artificial sperm (corn syrup) – that the ridge around the head of the penis actually scoops out pre-existing syrup from the vagina.

What this suggests is that men's repeated thrusting might function to displace other men's semen before ejaculating, ensuring their own swimmers have a better chance of reaching the egg first.

Incidentally, this could explain why it becomes painful for a man to continue thrusting after ejaculating, since that would risk scooping out his own semen as well.

someone has clearly never had sex among those researchers. Painful? I get that hit a nerve/charlie horse/I'm gonna piss in your mouth feeling but it's never painful.


The mind is the most powerful sexual organ and has the most influence on how long you'll last. I've been so turned on (and didn't jerk off earlier) that 5 min. was a generous estimate. Then there's been times where there's just nothing there and I'm going thru the motions (like with some fat chick and I was drunk) and I go on forever, get bored and fall asleep.

If that's offensive to someone. Fuck you?

And did that before I even posted it.

Clairvoyance - it's fantastic.

I've never really understood why this number is so low.

I mean sex is great, I'm not a kid that needs to finish a chocolate bar as quickly as possible so why do I need to hurry in the bedroom (or wherever it may be).

 

[Little Red Wagon Repairman]

i like to do the sex it feels so good I finish in 5.4 strokes.

It's not often when a person finds a situation where latency is a good thing. :1orglaugh

 

[Pornfan99]

I think the problem is that the penis is OVER-sensitive, after ejaculating. Thus, the sensation is no longer pleasurable, and becomes irritating (and borderline painful).

Same with women. I had a GF who loved to ride me, and put the full torque-hold on my hips, with her legs. There were several times she would just STOP. And, tell me "DON'T TOUCH ME!!!" I know one time I joked around with her, about "one more thrust," or suckling on a nipple. She said that her clit was S-O sensitive, that she'd either start bawling, or pass out.

For most people it's not a choice. Some guys are just incapable of holding out.

Longer than Stern lasts. :tongue:

Could be worse, your token could expire. Right?



Right?

Roger that.

Most women I know don't want to be vaginally fucked for hours anyway.
Y'all have been watching "too much" porn.
Did this study count foreplay at all?

I personally enjoy quickies. If you can make her cum before you do, who gives a fuck how many minutes it is?

No shame in mixing it up either. People in long-term relationships are rarely gonna be boning for hours every day.. it'd be nice if life provided that much free time and resilient, never-tired, never-sore genitals but that's not usually reality. ;D

 

[sean miguel]

Keith Sweat turned down low, my night off and her day off = all night/multiple times. It's makeup sex without the argument.


But yeah, quickies are fun too, especially when it's a race against time.

Foreplay isn't sex. Foreplay is foreplay. I can almost guarantee that more would prefer if the guy took too long to cum rather than if he came way too fast.

Oral sex is literally called oral SEX, but if you want to argue semantics further, I don't care to.

But thanks for trying to inform me what most women prefer during sex outside your own experiences. Totally not a pansexual woman myself who knows tons of women.
I was simply implying that I think people often assume longer is always better.. it's not.

True. My lady loves a quicky

 

[Little Red Wagon Repairman]

I count taking off my shoes & socks, pulling my pants down somewhere below my knees, and using the palm of my hand rubbing the hoo-hah in a circular manner to lubricate her also as time for doing the sex.

 

[LeyaFalcon]

If sex only lasted 5 minutes I would be beyond pissed. I need at least 20
