If "good sex" is judged by how long it takes, here are some research findings gathered for over a decade by Penn State University researchers on how long some people take to complete their sex play: (i.e. Time from penetration to ejaculation.)
- 1 to 2 minutes: Too short time for enjoyment by most women. Many men are OK with this short time.
- 3 to 7 minutes: Adequate for many men and some women. Three out of four women fake their orgasm.
- 7 to 13 minutes: Most desirable length of time for both men and women.
- 13 to 30 minutes was too long for many people but some enjoyed the marathon sessions lasting an hour or more.
Average number of times a week: 3
ADVICE: Find out what your partner likes and stay within his/her comfort and enjoyment limits. That requires some discussion and negotiation to clarify expectations. If you don't get these details clarified early, the relationship is likely to end abruptly and you won't even know why.
