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.

How to Send a PayPal Link for Payment

If you have a PayPal account, people can send you money using your PayPal login email address associated with the account, but that can be cumbersome to tell people in many situations. You can also set up a special PayPal Link, through PayPal's PayPal.Me service, that people can click on to send you money. How PayPal Payment Links Work You can set up a special link associated with your PayPal account where if people click on it, they will be sent to a PayPal prompt to send you money and shown your profile picture to verify that you are the right person they intend to pay. You can send this to friends by text, email or instant message if they owe you money, post it on a website where friends and relatives can use it to send you gifts or use it to accept payment for your business. The username in the link can be essentially anything that you pick that hasn't already been chosen, similar to an email address, though PayPal says it shouldn't be offensive or infringe on someon...

MUST READ! How To Know If Your Girlfriend Will Cheat On You

Scientists from Oxford University have published a new report on how to know if your girlfriend will cheat on you. According to the report, women with a longer index finger and shorter ring finger tend to be more attractive to men, and therefore are more likely to dabble in extramarital activities. Eiluned Pearce measured the fingers of 275 female volunteers and also sampled their DNA, before getting them to complete psychological tests about their relationships. She found that “women with higher (more feminine) left-hand digit ratios are more impulsive and rate their romantic relationships less favourably” -which she said was “intriguing, because the opposite might be expected”. The study reports that the findings are in contrast to previously held beliefs that women with shorter ring fingers were actually more womanly. Scientists previously believed that they’d been exposed to higher levels of female sex hormones in the womb and therefore were...

Copa America: Messi scores twice as Argentina routs Nicaragua 5-1

Argentina's Lionel Messi (C) is marked by Nicaragua's Josue Quijano (L) and Luis Fernando Copete during their international friendly football match at the San Juan del Bicentenario stadium in San Juan, Argentina. Photo: AFP SPORTS Copa America: Messi scores twice as Argentina routs Nicaragua 5-1 Lionel Messi scored a first-half double as Argentina warmed up for the Copa America with a comprehensive 5-1 win over Nicaragua on Friday in San Juan. The Central Americans, who will participate in this month’s Gold Cup tournament while Argentina battle it out in Brazil, frustrated the home side initially. But it was left to captain Messi to spark his side into action in their only warm-up match ahead of the tournament, expertly opening the scoring on 37 minutes before grabbing another just 96 seconds later. Lautaro Martinez, the Inter Milan forward, also scored twice, coming off the substitutes bench at half-time to give coach Lionel Scaloni food for thought ahead of the opening...

JAMB to candidates: Don’t accept admissions not done through CAPS

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board Monday issued a stern warning to candidates not to accept any admission not done through its Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS). It noted that any offer of admission that was not validated on their profile page with JAMB or offered through the CAPS was invalid. It stated these on its weekly bulletin sent to reporters on Monday in Abuja by its Spokesperson, Dr. Fabian Benjamin. JAMB, in the bulletin, noted that there was a ploy by three unnamed public universities to lure innocent and more qualified candidates from their preferred programmes so that they could accept other programmes. The board noted that such admission offers were illegal and would not be recognised by the board. It said any candidate who accepts such offer of admission does so at his or her own risk as there will be no regularisation of any irregular or condonment of illegal admission. Although JAMB did not disclose the names of the three universities, it pu...
