Researchers involved in the study reported that sexual problems among married or cohabiting couples may be linked to less physical pleasure and emotional satisfaction with the partner. In a study published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine in , American and Canadian couples therapists estimated the ideal duration of sexual intercourse.
Under two minutes was too short, they thought. And anywhere from ten to 30 minutes was too long, according to the combined responses from the therapists.
A study in the same journal from suggests huge variability in how long sex lasts for heterosexual couples. Five hundred heterosexual couples from five countries timed their intercourse over a four-week period. The shortest intercourse duration in the study lasted 55 seconds, while the longest bumped along for over 44 minutes.
The median intercourse duration in the study was just over five minutes, but appeared to get shorter with participant age, and the duration also varied slightly between the five countries.
What is considered statistically normal is one thing. But another thing is what you and your partner want in your sex life. If you as a man can have intercourse for five to six minutes, but still find this too short — what should you do?
You can always raise your concerns with your doctor, or with a psychologist or sexologist. And of course also that there are different ways to have sex that can be just as enjoyable. Some men tend to come so fast that they can't even begin penetration, and then trying to have children can be difficult. Men who seek help for premature ejaculation almost always do it out of a desire to have better sex — not with the goal to fertilize an egg cell.
He sometimes tells young patients that it is common for intercourse to last only three to five minutes. But he acknowledges that statistics that measure how long it takes for men to reach orgasm with penetration can be misleading, and that they don't reveal anything about how the partner was doing and what might have happened before and after sex.
For the more ambitious, seven to 13 minutes was considered a "desirable" length for intercourse. This data, from all the people who see therapists for sexual problems, corresponds closely to earlier studies, which put the average at five to seven minutes.
We can safely blame the two-minute discrepancy on the Canadians. Coitus considered "adequate" lasts anywhere from three to seven minutes, not including the Pledge of Allegiance.
Statistically speaking, a study found that sex lasts 5. For historical perspective, Alfred Kinsey's research found that 75 percent of American men ejaculated within the first two minutes of sex. Essentially, ejaculatory inhibition, which is also called "delayed orgasm" or "junkie orgasm," has less to do with actual time than an inability to ejaculate when you'd like. And premature ejaculation, which is also called "rapid ejaculation," refers to intercourse that lasts less than a minute or two.
There is very little published research into how long sex usually lasts. The studies that exist have significant limitations — most, for example, considered sex only to be penile-vaginal intercourse or only included heterosexual couples. A multinational study of heterosexual couples that defined sex as penile-vaginal intercourse asked participants to time sex from penetration through male ejaculation. Within their very limited parameters, the team found that reports ranged from 33 seconds to 44 minutes, with the average session lasting 5.
A study asked sex therapists in the United States and Canada to estimate the average duration of sex within different categories.
However, a study assessing the time to orgasm in heterosexual women found that the average was Cultural norms, including guidelines from medical professionals, can influence sexual expectations and play a role in sexual dissatisfaction. The findings of a study also suggest that having a vaginal orgasm correlates with having penile-vaginal penetrative sex for a longer period.
