Optimal Sex Takes 3 to 13 Minutes, Study Finds

NEW YORK — Maybe men had it right all along: It doesn't take long to satisfy a woman in bed.

A survey of sex therapists concluded the optimal amount of time for sexual intercourse was 3 to 13 minutes. The findings, to be published in the May issue of the Journal of Sexual Medicine, strike at the notion that endurance is the key to a great sex life.

If that sounds like good news to you, don't cheer too loudly. The time does not count foreplay, and the therapists did rate sexual intercourse that lasts from 1 to 2 minutes as "too short."

Researcher Eric Corty said he hoped to ease the minds of those who believe "more of something good is better, and if you really want to satisfy your partner, you should last forever."

The questions were not gender-specific, said Corty. But he said prior research has shown men and women want foreplay and sexual intercourse to last longer.

Dr. Irwin Goldstein, editor of the Journal of Sexual Medicine, cited a four-week study of 1,500 couples in 2005 that found the median time for sexual intercourse was 7.3 minutes. (Women in the study were armed with stopwatches.)

It's difficult for both older men and young men to make sexual intercourse last much longer, said Marianne Brandon, a clinical psychologist and director of Wellminds Wellbodies in Annapolis, Maryland.

"There are so many myths in our culture of what other people are doing sexually," Brandon said. "Most people's sex lives are not as exciting as other people think they are."

Fifty members of the Society for Sex Therapy and Research in the U.S. and Canada were surveyed by Corty, an associate professor of psychology at Penn State Erie, The Behrend College, and student Jenay Guardiani. Thirty-four members, or 68 percent, responded, although some said the optimal time depended on the couple.

Corty said he hoped to give an idea of what therapists find to be normal and satisfactory among the couples they see.

"People who read this will say, 'I last five minutes or my partner lasts eight minutes,' and say, 'That's OK,' " he said. "They will relax a little bit.

Sounds about right.

I've never understood why certain people brag about banging for hours, they must be doing something wrong.

[crazycoffey]

This means I have to more than quadruple my production to even equal the minimum?
I'm sooooo screwed. What are they going to say next? That I need a full 3 inches to satisfy a woman? I'll shoot myself....

[chiefforlife]

:D
That makes me an optimal sex partner!

[CanadianChief]

The picnic table never complains!!!

[The Franchise]

I'm keeping a stopwatch with me. When it hits 13 minutes.....I'll scream DONE! and then roll over and go to sleep. If she complains....I'll print this out and give it to her.

[Demonpenz]

never an issue when the girl is passed out.

[Reerun_KC]

Where is the enjoyment out of that? we average around 25-30 min from start to finish... Not bad for being married 16 years.

We do as well. But that also includes dressing/undressing, shower afterwards, and a sandwich.

You should check into rip away track pants. It'll cut your time by at least a couple of seconds. That way you can have more time to make your sandwich.

[tooge]

does the sandwich come by way of "now make me a sandwich biatch"?

[Chief Faithful]

Sorry, I want more than 13 minutes after all the time and money it takes before the timer starts. It is really hard work to be nice all evening. I want at least 14 minutes. :harumph:

[Bowser]

Sounds like BS! A man conducted it and tabulated the results, I see.:harumph::p

You need to explain to us, in detail, how to properly please a woman. And could you speak softly, with the lights turned down?

[Mr. Plow]

No. My wife doesn't talk to me like that.

Sounds normal there, i thouhgt 3-13 esp 3 is way too little

[sedated]

I usually just blow mine after her 8th orgasm

[blueballs]

3-13 minutes
how much does that work out to in $$
after dinner and a movie

[Micjones]

3-13 minutes?
Really?

Sheesh...
I'm just getting warmed up by then.

[StcChief]

Sounds like BS! A man conducted it and tabulated the results, I see.:harumph::p he sped up the stop watch, and inflated member size

[Reerun_KC]

:clap:

It is a marathon not a sprint for the finish line....

[bogey]

3-13 minutes of intercourse sounds about right. It's the 45 minutes prior to intercourse that matter to her, which include, foot rub, back scratch, aggressive fondling, kissing, more aggressive fondling, more kissing, oral for her and then the 3 minutes the male enjoys.

[blueballs]

The 3-13 minutes DOES NOT
include the begging
or in male language -foreplay

[wutamess]

Don't forget the "rub my back" request before.
3 minte mark I start crampin.
This report has to be bogus.

Freakin women.

[Iowanian]

You're probably onto something. I have no problem believing that any man brave enough to grab bukakeyes fishlip, is in danger of a serious case of bass thumb.


that or none of the women were like you;

ohhhhhh - or so I've heard, that's all I'm saying.

:p

[InChiefsHeaven]

3-13 of intercourse is about right...and in my case, once at a time. Not like the old days when it was like 5 times a night...


...but I'm better at it now...at least that's what I tell myself...quality, not quantity...

[Rooster]

You're probably onto something. I have no problem believing that any man brave enough to grab bukakeyes fishlip, is in danger of a serious case of bass thumb.

Interesting article, but who cares if the woman is satisfied?

[Halfcan]

[Braincase]

[88TG88]

Its quantity over quality for me.

[Iowanian]

Congratulations though, it sounds like you've landed yourself a real stud.

[JohninGpt]

I was told that if I wanted it to last longer I should think about baseball, so I figured what the hell, I'll just turn on the game.

[el borracho]
