How Long Should A Guy Last In Bed?

A couple weeks ago, I ran across a research paper that inadvertently answered one of those awkward questions that so few people get the chance to talk about: How long does the average man last in bed? I was particularly interested in this study because men’s prowess in the bedroom is often exaggerated, and this study provided an opportunity to shed some light on the truth. The study is (sadly) locked behind a paywall, so I’ll do my best to reproduce the results here.

You see, these researchers were actually studying premature ejaculation. To do so, they recruited about 500 random heterosexual couples from The Netherlands, Spain, Turkey, the UK, and the US and asked them to track the duration of their sexual encounters using a timer and diary. The researchers asked the couples to start the timer as soon as vaginal penetration occurred, and stop the timer as soon as the man ejaculated. Quite romantic, as you might imagine.

After 4 weeks of stop watches and sex diaries, the researchers followed up with the couples to collect the diaries and ask them various demographic questions. Below, I’ve plotted the distribution of how long each man lasted before orgasming (averaged over all his encounters).

To provide a more succinct view of the data, I also created a box plot to summarize the distribution:

The average (median) time before orgasm was about 6 minutes, and ranged from a blissful 6 seconds to a marathon-paced 53 minutes. The majority of men lasted between 4 to 11 minutes, with anyone lasting longer than 21 minutes being considered an outlier.

What I found particularly interesting about this study was the men’s tendency to overestimate the duration of their sexual encounters: According to the authors, the men’s estimates averaged about 1.9 minutes longer than they really were—about a 31% overestimation over the 6-minute average—which really highlights our tendency to overestimate our performance in the bedroom.

So, there we have it. Our collective fascination with hours-long romps in the bedroom doesn’t really hold up in the data, and most couples are probably quite happy for it. Hopefully studies like this one will help us ground our expectations in reality, rather than trying to live up to fantasy.

Tactical Analysis: The key factors for Barcelona and Liverpool

Photo by David Ramos/Getty Images Camp Nou sets the scene for a mouthwatering battle between two European giants, FC Barcelona and Liverpool. Coming off the back of a recent LaLiga title conquest, Ernesto Valverde’s men head into this decisive duel with the utmost confidence. But the same can be said about their opponents who have touched down in the Catalan capital after a 5-0 thrashing over Huddersfield with both Mo Salah and Sadio Mane picking up braces. Safe to say, their strikers are in devastating form. Yet flipping the coin, Barcelona’s front men have also been nothing short of spectacular especially Lionel Messi who has been on a rampage in recent matches: scoring two to dump Manchester United out of the champions league, then later netting the league title goal to grant his side their 26th LaLiga trophy. He’ll step onto the pitch with 45 goals and 22 assists under his belt and Jurgen Klopp and Co. are well aware of the threat the Argentine brings to the table. The Keys...

Chelsea Star Set To Make Shock Move To Barcelona

Barcelona have been rebuffed by Chelsea after an approach regarding a potential January move for Andreas Christensen. The Spanish champions are currently looking into potential defensive reinforcements with Samuel Umtiti increasingly likely to undergo surgery on a knee injury. Matthijs de Ligt, the Ajax defender, is Barcelona’s No.1 target, but Ajax are unwilling to sell until next summer. That could see Barcelona move now, for Christensen, potentially freeing up De Ligt for others next summer; Juventus are monitoring his situation. Christensen is also rumoured to be wanted by AC Milan as he considers a move away from Stamford Bridge having become unhappy with his role under Maurizio Sarri.

She has maintained a low profile since marrying her 4th husband until recently In a recent rant, Amara wrote a dissertation.
