How long should sex last?

Have you ever wondered how your stamina in the bedroom stacks up against the average?

Scientists asked 500 heterosexual couples from five different countries to use a stopwatch to time sex, from insertion of the penis into the vagina to male orgasm, over a four-week period.

The researchers found that sex lasts an average of five minutes and 24 seconds. The findings ranged from 33 seconds to more than 44 minutes.

The study also found that the time couples last in bed decreases as they get older.

Read all the results from the study.

Would you ever take part in a study like this?

                 I would never consider using a stop watch!



Glad to hear it Sophie, plenty toys far better suited. Enjoy.

Come on then MD, tell us about the "toys" you use, or are they too high powered for your poor little member, LOL

Well don't leave Raphael and MD hanging..what's the cost of the service?

I'd be happy to 'fess up, but just at the moment I'm all outa puff - gonna havta getta little compressor - these 'blow-up' dolls just too much huffin and puffin, now where was I ?

$2?  That's a cheap deal.

Trouble is the ole "girls" may not have the stamina to keep the momentum going!

Just spend another $2 and you will find like with any good slot machine, the momentum will keep going.

Of course.

Surely there's no 'should' about it!

At last a great thread! Tantric sex can last up to 8 hours according to Bono.

Need a 8 hr timer in that case!!!!

My first reaction to that question was " Oh about 100 years", then when I read the IELT study results (now that's a mind boggling concept) I realised that milliseconds could now be important, well in case of the much publicised one second rapist or was it one minute ? time was of the essence! The fact that scientists now, after eons of human evolution, believe that we need to know the statistics to this question is quite puzzling. Will it lead to another event being included in  The Olympic Games? Well thinking of that maybe the guy crossing the finishing line at 33 seconds (hopefully not in a photo finish) was Usain Bolt, now there's a bolter! Or perhaps he had a train to catch? or maybe he was put under stress by his partner pulling out a stopwatch?,now that would put anyone off his concentration!. Now as for the 44.1 minute (not forgetting the decimal point!) guy, well  when I was 18yrs I almost beat that, but that day I was suffering from Beer Induced Premature Ejaculation( BIPE) and could only manage 42 or 43 minutes. I can't be more accurate than that because it was an open air job in the back garden and I only had a sundial for reference.!!

Re your questioning the reason for the study, if you click through on the link it will explain.

Ohhh you're a bragger sageman, but love it, Olympic Games indeed. Lends an entirely new meaning to pole vaulting, long jump, gymnastics, pommel horse and breaststroke to name a few.

The way things are going it's probably only a matter of time before competitors will be performing starkers - look out then for the 'stayers' in the marathon, that'll sort the men from the boys: It's got me huffin and puffin just thinkin about it, best go steady.

 

" It's got me huffin and puffin just thinkin about it"

Well..well..well MD. Don't think too much dear..it might bring on cardiac arrest at your age :)

When a person is in love..(with another person)..they don't need sex toys..

 

boring old Sophie. 

Is that because your sex life is non-existent Raphael and so you are bored by hearing about others?


Show some empathy Sophie, the poor old geezer is way past his use by date, hahahaha

It's all well and good putting a stop watch on the performance, I think it would have been better to show how much stamina a male could have in a given session. I know of someone who used to boast he had 7 in one loving interlude.  I suppose if they did the same test on, " How long would it take a woman", the answer could come back as, " 1 hour or it has never happened". (ha ha)

Now the oldies boast, "What you did all night, now takes you all night to do it". 

What's a minute out of your life used to be our gauge to long lasting sex! Lol

HOLA , In your case, being a fan of his , I think that Robert Goulet could have worked his magic in 5 mins more or less? Eh what did you say?preferably more??!!

Oh yes!!  Old Robert could have worked his magic on me with those sexy come hither eyes. Always loved a man with sexy eyes and a cleft in the chin, a definite magnet  for me. 

Suze, I just don't want my risk of a heart attack to be lowered, I want something to make it impossible to happen!!! Does that mean one a day keeps the doctor away or should I just stick to apples?

Hmm!!! sageman

You pose a very difficult question  Related image

A  banana   Related image   or  an apple   Related image

Sageman -  Stick to Apples, when Bananas are over ripe they get all mushy.  You want something that is crisp and lifts the spirits.

how about a cold tinny instead.

Naah, I wouldn't take part in this study. I like spontaneity. The ticking of the stop watch would remind me of the one swallowed by the croc in Peter Pan and would dampen my spirits, hahahaha

 

 

Good one Micha! Must say as a born Latin lover I am a great believer in the saying 

"mai troppo vecchio per il sesso (never too old for sex)"


You said you were Chinese Ray but now latin....mmmnnn I imagine Deano Martin with slanty eyes.

I'm not sure about this? To start with, it takes a great deal of concentration so simultaneously playing with a stop watch is definately out of the question. I would think a panel of 3 judges each with stop watches to be more appropriate.

Anyway, whats the point? Much of the result is heavily influenced by the woman.

Hi Suze, a banana doesn't come into it at all because for one that fruit could be suffering from Peyronies disease with that sort of curvature! I'll give you something more appropriate that you could eat. So here goes and it should be less difficult for you  to solve this time.

What's long and red and has got skin that pulls back? (and it's not a fruit!!)................Give up??

 

 

A stick of Rhubarb......What else! and that is a vegetable of course, so should be good for you!! Just don't eat the poisonous leaves!

Rhubarb      Related image  ????

think I will stick to          Related image  seeing you won't share your banana with me.

Sex lasts a lifetime Male or Female as it is your gender but sexual intercourse varies from a quickie to an all nighta. The question is who is telling the truth.

Re :

... NOT these days. Related image

You are splitting hairs as the trans genders are very few.

HOLA, some people might say that my eyes are sexy and modesty prevents me from saying that they are right. They could have something there though because at my local shopping centre this week an attractive lady was giving away apples to promote a variety called Jazz in season now. Most people got one, but when I smiled at her I got two, plus a great smile back, how about that?Yes I sometimes need a spirited lift!.

Suze eating all those bananas will end up giving you too much protein and there's a possibility you might choke on one !!

How long should sex last? Well at least until the hot water runs out in your shower!!
