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.

Eto'o urges Salah to join Barcelona in 'the best league in the world'

The former Nou Camp star reckons that the Egyptian forward has everything it takes to succeed in La Liga but prefers Barca to Real as his destination Mohamed Salah has been encouraged to leave Liverpool and join Barcelona by former Blaugrana striker Samuel Eto’o. Salah has been in incredible form for the Anfield outfit since joining from Roma in the summer of 2017. He scored the opening goal in their Champions Leaguefinal victory over Tottenham on June 1, one of 54 goals in 74 appearances. Those performances have caught the attentions of Europe’s top clubs with the Egypt international forward linked with joining Zinedine Zidane’s new galactico project at Real Madrid.

Sergio Ramos: They could make a Ballon d'Or for Cristiano and Messi, then another for everyone else

Sergio Ramos: They could make a Ballon d'Or for Cristiano and Messi, then another for everyone else Sergio Ramos has joked that Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo deserve their own Ballon d'Or award separate from the rest of the football world. The Argentinian won his sixth last week, putting him ahead of the Portuguese's five, which the latter apparently wasn't best pleased about, but his former Real Madrid teammate has a solution. "They could make a Ballon d'Or only for Cristiano and Messi ," Ramos told Ivan Zamorano in an interview with TUDN. "Then there could be another for the rest. In the end it'd be better for football." The Real Madrid captain has been key in their recent domination of Europe, winning four Champions Leagues in five years in the capital, but there's one moment that stands above the rest for him. "The goal in Lisbon," he responded when asked what was his best Champions League memory, ...

" He's not on the same wavelength as everybody else ," said Frank Lampard, the retired Chelsea legend who, having faced Messi several times before, knows from experience. "As soon as that ball was set back — a great ball by Iniesta — you knew exactly what was going to happen. Very clinical."
