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.

Lionel Messi tells Barcelona favourite to join Cristiano Ronaldo at Juventus

Lionel Messi has told his favourite at Barcelona to sign for Juventus and join Cristiano Ronaldo doing the upcoming summer. Barcelona goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen has been looking for an exit from Catalonia of late, and confirmed to the public that he will be moving to greener pastures during the summer. The Netherlands international wanted to leave last year, but the club did convince him into staying for another season and go next year- and so he did. Jasper Cillessen has served Barcelona critically and endlessly throughout his career and lately, especially in this season, he has proven that he is too good to be second choice and could easily be a regular only if he did not have a mercurial Marc Andre Ter Stegen ahead of him. They bet in the dressing room that Cillessen will stay, but he looks set to leave and wants to play often at 30. Following his most recent remarks regarding his future in Catalonia, Diario GOL has reported that Jasper Cillessen has a foot and a hal...

Homegrown talents make most of chances at Barcelona, Madrid

BARCELONA, Spain In the star-packed squads of Barcelona and Real Madrid, it's tough for talented youngsters to emerge from obscurity. Barcelona's Carles Alena and Madrid's Marcos Llorente made the most of their chances to shine on the weekend in the Spanish league, as both midfielders impressed in victories for their injury-hit teams. The 20-year-old Alena gave Barcelona a 2-0 win over Villarreal on Sunday with a coolly executed chip of onrushing goalkeeper Sergio Asenjo. The goal came after Alena recovered the ball in midfield and linked up with Lionel Messi, who met his run forward with a pass through four defenders. It was Alena's first goal in the Spanish league and his first one at Barcelona's stadium.
