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.

Messi Is Better Than Ronaldo – Ex Real Madrid Manager

Former Real Madrid manager, Vicente Del Bosque, believes Barcelona star Lionel Messi is superior to Cristiano Ronaldo when it comes to who is the greatest player in this generation. WATCH VIDEO: WHO IS THE WORLD'S BEST? MESSI vs RONALDO Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have dominated the football landscape in the last decade, with the pair winning the Ballon d’Or award five times apiece. Both players have, therefore, often divided opinion among fans when it comes to picking the best player in this generation. Indeed, while some prefer Messi, others also believe Ronaldo is the better player, as the debate continues to rumble on. Although Vicente Del Bosque is yet to manager either player, the experienced coach has made his pick on which footballer is more talented. Del Bosque described Ronaldo as an extraordinary goal scorer but believes Messi is more natural and has picked the Argentine as the superior player. The former Real Madrid boss told Mundo Deportivo, as q...

2019 UEFA Award: Top 5 contenders for player of the year

Ronaldo is the record winner of the award While it might seem like everything concerning last season has been done and dusted with all the major competitions having been decided, it is germane to note that one aspect which has not been settled is the handing out of individual awards based on perfomances in the period under review. Numerous prestigious personal awards are still to be decided, with the Ballon d'Or, FIFA Best and UEFA Best Men's Player accolades all coming up for grabs in the next couple of months. While it might be in the shadow of more illustrious awards like the Ballon d'Or and FIFA Best, the UEFA awards are prestigious accolades in their own right and are highly rated by players and fans alike. The awards were introduced in 2011 to initially replace the Ballon d'Or (which was merged with the FIFA World Best in 2010), and has Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric as its current holder. Crstiano Ronaldo is the record winner of the accolade, while Lio...

10 Things Men Like in Women More Than Good Looks

While great relationships start with mutual attraction, in the long run the relationship is destined to fail if the couple lack compatibility. Curious to know what men truly look for when they want to enter a committed relationship? Here is a list of traits that are far more important than beauty. 1. A Sense of Adventure Men absolutely adore women who live life to the fullest. This includes a willingness to try new things and even take risks. Whether it’s going kayaking, hiking a mountain or skydiving, an adventurous woman sure beats a girlfriend who just sits around on the sofa knitting sweaters, no matter how attractive she might be. 2. A Compromiser Having disagreements is a perfectly normal part of a relationship. However, stubbornness and a “my way or the highway” only leads to misery. This is why men appreciate women who are able to negotiate and find a solution that satisfies both partners. This could be true for hobbies (i.e, the guy ta...
