No, I am not asking. I am telling you. Average sex last

Spoiler

5.4 minutes!

. Unless you are Turkish. Then it lasts less time....

So it’s clear there’s no one “normal” amount of time to have sex. The average (median, technically) across all couples, though, was 5.4 minutes. This means that if you line up the 500 couples from shortest sex to longest sex, the middle couple goes for an average of 5.4 minutes each time they do it.

There were some interesting secondary results, too. For example, condom use didn’t seem to affect the time, and neither did men’s being circumcised or not, which challenges some conventional wisdom regarding penile sensitivity and its relationship to staying power in the sack.

It didn’t much matter which country the couples came from either – unless they came from Turkey, in which case their sex tended to be significantly shorter (3.7 minutes) than couples from other countries (Netherlands, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States). Another surprising finding was that the older the couple, the shorter the sex, contrary to the prevailing wisdom (probably peddled by older men).

Some other cool facts in here. Like why does it take so long and what not. The older you get the shorter it lasts. It uses the term couple but it seems to be a man/woman sexual relationship from what i see. So alternative couples feel free to share your data!

Call me a premature ejaculator if old.

[DrGonzo615]

5.4 minutes is the average!?

I thought a quickie was 10minutes.....

 

[Like the hat?]

Bringing down that average for fifteen years.

 

[Pankratous]

Isn't a quickie 30 minutes?

 

[Shmuppers]

I thought a quickie was an hour?!

edit:

Spoiler

yes, I'm being sarcastic

 

[SecretDan]

Isn't a quickie 30 minutes?

30 minutes of uninterrupted intercourse is a quickie?

 

[Nathan_Drake]

30 minutes of uninterrupted intercourse is a quickie?

[- J - D -]

Gaf keeping the average up.

 

[God of Gamblers]

Anything less than 40 mins isn't even considered sex.

 

[bud]

at least four hours.

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

A quickie is supposed to be like 1-2 minutes for fucks sake, at least for me. Hell sometimes 30 seconds lol.

[Reszo]

On average I normally can last 15-30 minutes, when you include foreplay , then longer.

If im drunk then about a hour+ lol

 

[TheSadRanger]

As long as I want it to ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

[Shmuppers]

This is not stealth brag. This is OVERT brag.

Stealth brag: the thread

No kidding, it's cringe as fuck.

 

[eddie4]

are they counting foreplay, etc. or is this just penis inside the vagina timing....?

 

[davepoobond]

it takes me 30 years.

i think 5 minutes is way too short.


a quickie is supposed to last 8 hours, i thought

 

[Escape Goat]

Gone in 60 seconds

 

[Jarate]

Im assuming this doesn't include things like foreplay and just pure on penetrative sex

The best study we have estimating the average time to ejaculation in the general population involved 500 couples from around the world timing themselves having sex over a four-week period – using a stopwatch.

That is as practically awkward as it sounds: participants pressed “start” at penile penetration and “stop” at ejaculation. You may note this could affect the mood somewhat, and might perhaps not exactly reflect the natural flow of things. But – science is rarely perfect, and this is the best we’ve got.

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

That's two minutes too long.

 

[Strangelove77]

Nothing quite like dudes on the Internet bragging about how long they have sex/how big their penis is/how many women they've slept with.
Tell me more, virile sex god.

 

[Violence Jack]

Using a wrong-sized condom used to make me go for over an hour back in my late-teens early 20s. It almost made me hate having sex until a former girlfriend suggested that I try a larger size. Then the average dropped down to about 10 minutes.

Also, this is relevant.

[Zombine]

I'm a big fan of sex days where it's just off and on through the day.

 

[Mimosa97]

5.4 minutes for foreplay, oral, penetration and post-cum existential crisis ?

In before Ain't nobody got time for sex

[Sheentak]

[Strangelove77]

[Shadybiz]

Depends on the position.

Doggy style, i can go forever.idk y

Yep.
Doggy = forever
Missionary = forever
Cowgirl = ....about 5.4 minutes.

5.4 minutes aint a lot of time for anything else....

 

[Alcotholic]

I go for about 20-30 minutes i think... i dont know for sure, but i think thats right.

 

[johancruijff]

1, 2, 3! Red Light! Green Light!

Yeah, just penetration time.

participants pressed “start” at penile penetration and “stop” at ejaculation

 

[Übermatik]

Mating takes 8 seconds.

 

[B-Dubs]

at least four hours.

That's it? You need to train a bit dude.

 

[Aeana]

I wonder how long those citing 20+ minutes are alone after the girl had faked an orgasm and left because you're making her sore and boring her to tears.

 

[darscot]

Why do so many guys brag about going long. I can't imagine how shitty that would be a for a chick. If I couldn't get off for an hour, it would be humiliating I would just apologize and throw in the towel and get the fuck out of there. How do you face a chick after that? Sure maybe if I was drunk as shit, sometimes you just can't get there, I just fake it and call it a day.

 

[Inferno313]

At least six hours, for a quickie. You know how us grown ups always drink coffee? It's because we were all up until 4 AM fucking like animals.

 

[Sheentak]

Yeah, just penetration time.

About what i thought.

 

[Oxn]

Isn't a quickie 30 minutes?

I thought a quickie was an hour?!

Are you guys insane? Aquickie is what happened in 8 Miles, which is under a minute.
