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.

📰: BREAKING💥: Ernesto Valverde to Leave Barcelona🙆

Barcelona have announced that head coach Ernesto Valverde will leave the club at the end of the 2018-19 season. The Spanish boss' future has been in question since being dumped out of the Champions League at the hands of Liverpool, with the LaLiga champions having been firmly among the favourites to lift the trophy. Having failed to do so, the Catalan giants and the 55-year-old are set to part ways in the summer. A statement on the club's website reads: "Ernesto Valverde will not sit on the Barcelona bench in the 2019-2020 season." No statements have been made by either party as to where Valverde- who has won two la liga titles, one Cop del rey looking foward for another one as they are in the final and a Spanish Super cup titles during his time at Barcelona- will end up next season.

Ronaldo reveals five players he loves watching

Former Brazil striker, Ronaldo, has named five footballers he loves to watch in action. Ronaldo, who played for Real Madrid and Barcelona, left out his namesake Cristiano Ronaldo. Instead he went for Lionel Messi (Barcelona), Mohammed Salah (Liverpool), Eden Hazard (Chelsea), Neymar (Paris Saint-Germain) and Kylian Mbappe (Paris Saint-Germain). When asked by AS which current players he enjoys watching, he replied: “Messi, of course. He is number one. It is a talent that we will take 20 or 30 years to see something similar. “I also like (Mohamed) Salah, (Eden) Hazard, Neymar, I love watching him play, and of course (Kylian) Mbappe.”

Admissions Will Only Be Offered to Qualified Candidates - JAMB

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has explained that admissions would only be given to qualified candidates who apply for courses into the various institutions in the country. It stated this in its Vol. 1, No 13 weekly Bulletin of the Office of the Registrar and made available to the News Agency of Nigeria on Monday in Abuja. The board described information being circulated that over 50 per cent of candidates who yearly apply for admissions into various institutions are not admitted as misleading and erroneous, and denounced the report that every year, after the conduct of the Unified Tertiary and Universities Examination, where millions of candidates apply, barely 20 per cent get admitted. “The truth is that, admissions can only be given to qualified candidates, hence, any figure being bandied around should also be based on the total number of candidates who applied and are qualified." “It will be an unfortunate postulation if the candidates who do ...

Messi Becomes First Player to Win European Golden Shoe for Record Fifth Time

Lionel Messi never thought it was possible to be so successful in his Barcelona career after winning the European Golden Shoe for a record fifth time. Despite being overlooked for the 2018 Ballon d'Or, Messi has enjoyed another wonderful year, having helped Barca to another LaLiga crown in the 2017-18 campaign. He scored 34 times in 36 games on the way to inspiring that title triumph, a record not matched across Europe's top leagues as he secured yet another Golden Shoe. Messi, 31, was presented with the prize for a fifth time – usurping Cristiano Ronaldo's tally of four – on Tuesday and it offered him the opportunity to reflect on his expectations as a youngster.

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. "The first one is always special but this one was even more so, coming here at Camp Nou at that stage of the match, with the pass coming from Messi," Alena said. "Only he can see that pass. I would never have imagined a goal like that even in ...
