I found this article to be very informing. My partner and I, Joe, have come to believe that 5 minutes of actual intercorse is the optimal amount of time, and that anything after is simply boring. Thank you for spicing up the bedroom for me and my lover!

Yes, I quite agree with Betty. I myself have found that it really releases the pressure of attempting to “pleasure” my wife for a longer period of time. And after finding that she is just as satisfied is a bonus. It gives me more time for CSI.

I was also looking for the 2005 study, I found those:

Patrick, D.L., Althof, S.E., Pryor, J.L., Rosen, R., Rowland, D.L., Ho, K.F., McNulty, P., Rothman, M. & Jamieson, C. (2005). Premature ejaculation: an observational study of men and their partners. The Journal of Sexual Medicine, 2, 3, pp. 358-367.
[Abstract: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16422869 ]

And one more on this subject in the same journal:

Waldinger, M.D., Quinn, P., Dilleen, M., Mundayat, R., Schweitzer, D.H., & Boolell, M. (2005). A multinational population survey of intravaginal ejaculation latency time. The Journal of Sexual Medicine, 2, 4, pp. 492-497. [Abstract:

This is a little embarrassing to admit, but when my husband puts it in I get off. We are just so in tune with each other. It never takes long to make each other happy.

Minutes? Why care about time when what matters is what the we feel and, where it get us in terms of positive relationship??

I see Good sex as being this good, an “hour of sex”….. 15 min of foreplay, Penetration however long it takes, there should b no limit, if the feeling is good prolong it for however long you can. after her and you orgasms get back to foreplay 15 min or at least until you psych each other up for another orgasm. Sex can only b boring if you don’t psych each other up each time for orgasm, if you have sex without feeling the heat it can b pointless so foreplay is important for not just women but men also, its like creating fire with to sharp rocks it can get boring if theres no oxygen to fuel the flame. statistics from doctors shouldn’t apply to you because we all have different limits. all good things should not be so quick. as long as we fill in a lot of foreplay and have decent time for penetration sex could last an hour and a half. after all foreplay, touching,kissing, sucking, biting in the first place gives the urge to hump dee dump dee.

My experiences do not agree with this finding. With foreplay, multiple orgasm and hugging in resolution we easily go for 30 minutes, without trying. 15 minutes barely give us the time for one stanza. My girl friend would not want to enter into sexual play unless we have more than an hour to ourselves. May be our age gives us the ability not to be rushed. We both are seniors, me more so. Obviously we are not into “performance” any more.

i am having sex almost every noght , but my sex vever gets longer than 2 minutes,someone can help plz ?

jude you are a loser and your wife is probally out banging other guys

why some men come quick when having sex?

Me and my boy friend have problem after sex, cos, he tired in 3 - 5 min. But my friends always saying they had 15, 20 or even 30 min. I am dreaming for atleast 30 min in my life time with any pertner.

Sex is great–but it’s also quite physically demanding (especially for the male). A man can/will use nearly every muscle group in his legs, hips, lower back, and abdomen in just about every sexual position in the book.

On top of that, more strength is required to keep the motion in rhythm. Most men these days (even young ones) just aren’t physically fit enough to have sustained sex for more than 6 minutes without tiring out.

Combined with the sexual stamina issue–which is a whole other statistic in and of itself…And you can’t really expect much in the department of lengthy porno sex.

A good lover will know that interplay is a great way to rest while satisfying his partner–often times, an experienced hand is better than a penis, anyway.

Women should not have unrealistic expectations of their partners–and men should do a better job of compensating for their weaknesses (if not attempting to fix them.)

i cant believe you people only last a few minutes

when i have sex im doing foreplay for like half an hour, the actual intercourse can last anything between 50 minutes to 3 hours… i think some of you people need viagra or something because clearly you cant pleasure your women LOL!

send all your women to me, il show them what pleasure is
