Many wonder how long a sexual relationship must last to enter the average. Scientists have asked themselves the same question and here is their answer.
Neither rabbit nor turtle. While sex is not limited to the penetration of a penis into a vagina or a sex toy into a vagina, etc., it is nevertheless difficult to count the time taken by cunnilingus or fellatio, for example. This is why the scientists who looked at the “classic” duration of sexual intercourse focused on the moment of penetration and that of ejaculation, orgasm being also difficult to time. In their study published in the medical journal National Library of Medicine and relayed by Pointthe researchers called on 500 highly motivated couples to be their guinea pigs for 4 weeks.
Four weeks during which participants had to press a button at the time of penetration and buzzer on another when the partner had ejaculated. This is how we learn, not without surprise, that the average between each couple is very different. For some, 33 seconds are enough to ejaculate, while for others 44 minutes are necessary. However, an average seems to have been found and it would be 5.4 minutes. In view of these results, we can therefore say that there is no “classic” duration of sexual intercourse. No need to stress before putting the condom on.

The average duration of a more than satisfactory sexual intercourse
This average of 5.4 minutes seems quite satisfactory. Indeed, according to a survey put forward by Gracecouples would find their sex more than honorable when it lasts between 3 and 7 minutes and would be sexually fulfilled between 7 and 13 minutes. Below 3 minutes, pleasure can be more difficult to feel and beyond 13 minutes, fatigue can also be felt.
Thus, everything is a question of dosage, of knowing how to listen to the intertwining bodies. It should not be forgotten either that each person is different in the face of sex, some prefer to take their time during penetration, while others press the action for their pleasure. Nothing to be ashamed of!
