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.”

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. Leo #Messi Record 5th #GoldenShoe 2009/10 34 goals 2011/12 50 goals 2012/13 46 goals 2016/17 37 goals 2017/18 34 goals pic.twitter.com/3zL8fsGSgx — FC Barcelona (@FCBarcelona) December...

Kissing On The Altar During Weddings Is An Unscriptural, Unholy Conduct- Bishop Insists

The Bishop of Niger Delta West Diocese, Rt Rev. (Dr) Emmanuel Oko-Jaja, has declared that the act of kissing ones bride at the altar during wedding is a sin. According to him, allowing couples to go through the process in church during their wedding service is unscriptural and therefore be discouraged. Oko-Jaja said that unwholesome practices taking place in churches during matrimonial services promotes immorality and corrupt the mind of especially teenagers that are in church to witness the practice. The cleric said this while delivering a sermon during the child presentation and Thanksgiving Service at St Mark’s Anglican Church, Biogbolo in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State on Sunday. He said that the act of allowing groom to kiss the bride in the full glare of both the young and old persons emanated from the teachings of false prophets. He called on all true believers to jealously guard against the antics of fake gospel preachers. “The practice where couples are allowed to k...

Champions League: Arsene Wenger reveals why Barcelona beat Liverpool 3-0

Former Arsenal boss, Arsene Wenger has revealed why Liverpool lost 3-0 to Barcelona in the first leg of the Champions League semi final against Barcelona on Wednesday. Wenger said Jurgen Klopp’s men collapsed in the final 15 minutes of their 3-0 defeat. Liverpool will need a miracle at Anfield next week after a Lionel Messi’s second half brace and a Luis Suarez opener saw Barca take control of the semi-final tie. The Reds fought hard and wasted opportunities before Messi scored the first of his two goals in the 75th minute of the match. The Argentine forward produced a stunning free-kick eight minutes later to beat Alisson and ensure Barcelona have one foot in the Champions League final. Wenger told beIN Sports, “It was hard for Liverpool tonight. “But, I must say, Barcelona suffered in the second half until they scored the second goal, then Liverpool collapsed. “There was two important things that happened tonight. First, when they suffered Ernesto Valverde made a good change. “He bro...
