Well, this is one question I am itching to answer. Sex normally lasts anywhere from 45 seconds to 45 minutes. This shows gross extremes in time duration. However, the mean average times for most couples ranges from anywhere between 4 to 6 minutes.
So, how long does Sexual intercourse normally last? It depends on a multitude of factors and not just your partner’s individual capacity.
Here is short video below
Some of us, of course end up getting disappointed or even disgusted when a finish to early (a condition called premature ejaculation). In men who come early sex lasts less than a minute. However, in some men, ejaculation can be so delayed, sex can become tiring resulting in delayed ejaculation or even no ejaculation at all. As you correctly noticed, a women cannot find a meaningful sexual gratification with extremes of sexual time-frames.
Coming too early and not coming at all are both detrimental to a healthy sexual relationship. You ideally want about 7 to 10 minutes of sexual foreplay (kissing, hugging, stimulating the breast, oro-genital stimulation) followed by about 5 minutes of penetrative sex. This of course results in a total duration of 12 to 15 minutes (which can be fun-filled and full-filling to both partners).
Of course, the duration of sex can depend on how frequently you have it with your partner. Let me give you an interesting example. Say for example, you have sex frequently on an average 4 to5 per week, the duration of sex will be longer. You will notice you have more control over your ejaculation.
However, in some instances you may notice that you are having intercourse only 1/month, then in these cases, because of the long abstinence, sex may not last long.
So, how long does sex normally last? The answer also depends on how frequently you have sex?. Consequently, the sex in some individuals will last really long since some couples engage in really loooooong foreplay. They keep at it. Suit yourself, whatever turns you on man
Jokes apart healthy Sexual Intercourse between couples should last anywhere from 12 to 15 minutes. The median average time reported as per scientific studies is 4 to 6 minutes.
Furthermore, we really do not know, why does sex last so long ? if the only objective of sexual intercourse is to have a child, sexual intercourse should be fairly simple. You take your organ, it becomes erect, then you thrust it, then immediately ejaculation happens. Pregnancy achieved. Voila!.
However, you and I both know, that is not the case. So, why does sex last long or last for a specific period of time? We are yet to discover the answer from nature. All that we know for sure, is that, sex is largely pleasurable as an activity. Its good for your health and your partner’s health and as a BONUS to nature, it passes on your genes to the next generation really very well.
