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.

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...

Scooper Spirituality: Why Comedy In The Church Is Highly Improper

We live in a time where morals and values are being dumbed down consistently to suit people's moral decadence. If there's a place that shouldn't be influenced by all this, it should be the Church. The Church is more than just a physical representation of the Christian religion, it ought to be a sanctified ground that exudes holiness and purity. But just like the outside world, the church is dumbing down its values and allowing certain practices that are associated with the world to take place in the church. On the 7th of December, The House On The Rock Church put together the 13th edition of its annual Experience gospel concert. This year's edition had over 700,000 people in attendance and dignitaries such as the major gubernatorial candidates for Lagos state Jimi Agbaje (PDP) and Jide Sanwo-Olu (APC) were in attendance. This gospel event was hosted by Banky W and Richard Mofe Damijo and had comedians like Akpororo to "entertain" the crowd. I...

After Christiano Ronaldo,Barcelona star to meet Matthijs de Ligt and convince him to join

Gerard Pique has apparently set up a meet with Matthijs de Ligt as the Ajax star unwinds in the Bahamas, to try and persuade him to join Barcelona. Francesc Aguilar of Mundo Deportivo tweets that Barcelona defensive stalwart Gerard Pique is travelling to the Bahamas specifically to meet with Matthijs de Ligt in an attempt to convince the youngster to join. De Ligt, who played a starring role in Ajax’s run to the semifinals of the Champions League and guided Netherlands to the UEFA Nations Cup finals, was told by Cristiano Ronaldo to join Juventus after the match. As a result, reports suggest that de Ligt has indeed looked Turin-bound of late. Barcelona, however, are not ready to throw in the towel yet as they send their premier defender as an emissary to convince the young centre back to join the Catalan club. It was rumoured that one of the reasons why de Ligt is leading away from a move to Barcelona has to do with the lack of playing time that he may contend with shou...
