Good sexual intercourse lasts minutes, not hours

Satisfactory sexual intercourse for couples lasts from 3 to 13 minutes, contrary to popular fantasy about the need for hours of sexual activity, according to a survey of U.S. and Canadian sex therapists.

Penn State Erie researchers Eric Corty and Jenay Guardiani conducted a survey of 50 full members of the Society for Sex Therapy and Research, which include psychologists, physicians, social workers, marriage/family therapists and nurses who have collectively seen thousands of patients over several decades.

Thirty-four, or 68 percent, of the group responded and rated a range of time amounts for sexual intercourse, from penetration of the vagina by the penis until ejaculation, that they considered adequate, desirable, too short and too long.

The average therapists’ responses defined the ranges of intercourse activity times: "adequate," from 3-7 minutes; "desirable," from 7-13 minutes; "too short" from 1-2 minutes; and "too long" from 10-30 minutes.

"A man’s or woman’s interpretation of his or her sexual functioning as well as the partner’s relies on personal beliefs developed in part from society’s messages, formal and informal," the researchers said. “"Unfortunately, today’s popular culture has reinforced stereotypes about sexual activity. Many men and women seem to believe the fantasy model of large penises, rock-hard erections and all-night-long intercourse. "

Past research has found that a large percentage of men and women, who responded, wanted sex to last 30 minutes or longer.

"This seems a situation ripe for disappointment and dissatisfaction," said lead author Eric Corty, associate professor of psychology. "With this survey, we hope to dispel such fantasies and encourage men and women with realistic data about acceptable sexual intercourse, thus preventing sexual disappointments and dysfunctions."

Corty and Guardiani, then-undergraduate student and now a University graduate, are publishing their findings in the May issue of the Journal of Sexual Medicine, but the article is currently available online.

The survey’s research also has implications for treatment of people with existing sexual problems.

"If a patient is concerned about how long intercourse should last, these data can help shift the patient away from a concern about physical disorders and to be initially treated with counseling, instead of medicine," Corty noted.

I think you need to stop

I think you need to stop seeing the sex as a competition and see it as something beautiful where if she is pleasured then you are happy. It is hard for a woman to relax when a man is pumping away on top of her trying to get her to respond.

Sex is intimacy and if you keep going at it like it's mechanical and all about your ability to make her cum, you will lose her. I bet you don't realise that listening to her, holding her and just being slow and gentle with her are all part of the experience.

Get back to the place of love. Also if she is the woman of your dreams -MARRY HER!!!

Lead up to Q: ive had too many sexual partners to say but it backs up my experience and i know women like it to last. Finally ive met the woman of my dreams and now i gotta be a one pump chump!!! she only lasts if we do any position other than missionary... and if we slip into missionary its over in seconds.. this normally is good with women as they get multiple orgasms but she cant. (maybe shes too unexperienced?) she says theres too much feeling.. then its like shes not there and me wearing a rubber makes it almost impossible to finish..

Q: is there anything she can do to last or to be able to get multiple orgasms rather than just changing positions?

except...

sometimes she doesn't get pleasure because he ejacs too soon, and can't keep going. (or loses the rest of the erection cause he needs to... change a condom let's say.

nice

I am not a doctor, so consult yours first, but I got Paxil or Paroxetine HCL (generic) for a similar issue and it works great. I would recommend about 30mg. It depends on your drug tolerance and how long you want to stay in control of course. For me at least, I have no side effects and the enjoyment is still there. It just delays the ending. I would say I could go 30 min with a Carrie Underwood. I think Paxil is normally to treat anxiety and even though I don't have that, it doesn't change my personality. It does however intensify your buzz without you knowing it. Heavy drinking and Paxil can cause more frequent blackouts which aren't always bad, just be careful and aware I guess. All in all though, it's truly a wonder drug.

I can't even have sex for more that five minute

Being married 23 years gives us a better conclusion on a quicky or a blue ball evening.In any case it's a defanate mind set to please each other. A quicky with a flood of emotion is far different from a Marathon FUK! Just remember who and what your trying to Love

Yes, ive wanted to have it last more longer than 30 minutes, but i cant. i get ejaculated right away. the reason why for this, is because i love my partner. i think the only problem there is when you dont get ejaculated too soon, that only means, your partner is not very effective or vice versa. dont mind the duration, think instead and treasure the moment. its not the duration that matters, its how you perform is the best.

well, I'm not a Medical Student or anybody who knows it all, but I can share my personal experience with you guys, just to make a point… and in my opinion, Males and Females have different “Individual” Desires… if I love to have a sexual intercourse for more than half an hour, it doesn’t really mean that the Guy or Girl Next-Door would have a Same or Similar desire at all… not even the True Blood relations have same sexual powers and desires, but yes, exceptions are there and one should feel lucky if your Partner has the same or similar sexual desires and powers…
I'm married for more than 2 years now, have a Son, living quite a Happy life… but still if I come to my Climax in 30 or 35 minutes at the first time, my wife has it twice or thrice already… but still if we have the desire and feel the power then I go for the second time right then and there! and that whole session will last for more than an hour... with lots of enjoyment...
So its all about the Individual Desires of all of us, which always vary from time to time and person to person and also gets effect from different circumstances… so we can not define the “IDEAL” sexual intercourse duration by interviewing 50 people from one city! It should have at least been done of 5,000 people from different segments of society in one State…

Biased Sample?

April 2, 2008 by Anonymous, 1 year 31 weeks ago
Comment id: 28488

A survey consisting "of 50 full members of the Society for Sex Therapy and Research". Please! Any first year graduate student in social science research methodology understands the constraining principles of a biased sample. For example, could it be that the SSTR members were biased toward the minimum duration which would qualify for meeting the initial threshold for success in therapy?

did anyone read any of these numbers? "Thirty-four, or 68 percent, of the group responded..." thirty-four people *total* felt this way. there were only fifty people surveyed to begin with and that's no more a valid basis for conclusion than if you were trying to decide between pepsi and coke.

"Past research has found that a large percentage of men and women, who responded, wanted sex to last 30 minutes or longer." - a 'large percentage'? how large is large? how many people were questioned in the first place? how long ago in the past are we talking about?

"Corty and Guardiani, then-undergraduate student and now a University graduate, are publishing their findings in the May issue of the Journal of Sexual Medicine..." seriously? now, perhaps *this* article isn't as developed as the article they will be publishing, but if that's not the case, i'd be embarassed if i were the editor of said magazine. this is trite, meaningless, sensationalistic crap, worth no more than a soundbyte on a morning 'news' program by nbc, cbs, or abc, crap, crap, crap.

I prefer (most of my friends) from penetration to ejaculation no more then 40 minutes...longer then that it just becomes painful.

The longer the better is about a guy willing to take the time insure that his partner has "gotten off." (At least this is the way I see it. And yes I am female.)

thats the biggest load of **** i ever heard. ive never found a woman who didnt prefer several hours instead of several minutes. i learned sex in the 70s and the one thing everyone b****** about was ''duration''. if you cant go 8 hours til your girl forgets her name and starts hollerin for water and makin weird animal noises , then you aint had sex yet. also , i assure you, any relationship based solely on alcohol and physical attraction is ultimately doomed to succeed

Different definitions?

"rated a range of time amounts for sexual intercourse, from penetration of the vagina by the penis until ejaculation"

In this study, participants were only asked about the time from penetration to ejaculation. This is a very narrow definition of sex. I doubt when the average person was asked how long they wanted sex to last they were excluding foreplay and sexual activity other than vaginal penetration. It would also be interesting to see what people included in their definitions of a sexual episode: does it include conversation before, kissing, cuddling, teasing and foreplay, oral sex, etc. what about after orgasm? Is post-sex holding and talking a part of the act? Sex is so much more than thrusting, and I would hope that sex researchers of all people would appreciate that. While I am all for having open and realistic expectations regarding sexual activity, it is important to use definitions that match real life rather than research convenience.

What about viagra?
