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.

Daily Nigerian reports that the kidnappers who abducted 16-year-old twin sisters in Zamfara have threatened to kill one of the girls if payment of their ransom is not made on time.

A family member, Ibrahim Abubakar, who spoke with the kidnappers and the twins on phone said the kidnappers had reduced the ransom to N15million. “We are only able to get N6m selling our properties and receiving contributions from family members, politicians, traders and ordinary people,” Mr Abdubakar told Daily Nigerian on Thursday night. In an audio clip that had since gone viral on Facebook, one of the twin sisters, Hussaina was h...

Should We Condemn Sports Betting As Much As We Condemn Runs Girls?

Fashion Designer, Uche Nnaji has written on how worrisome it is now that most Nigerian youths are engaging in sports betting and everyone seems to take it as the norm. In a post shared on his Facebook page this evening, Nnaji said that as much as religious bodies preach against girls doing runs, they should also speak up against sports betting, which is what most young men have resorted to instead of seeking employment. Uche Nnaji Read what he wrote below: A new epidemic is gradually rising and ravaging the youthfulness of our ideal youths , it is not CODEIN, TRAMADOL, MONKEY TAIL or any of those drugs that’s some Nigerian pop stars exalt in their music. This new epidemic stealthily ravaging our youths is something that growing up as a lad in Assemblies of God Church in Olodi-Apapa, Pastors preached against gambling and POOL playing. This was actually frowned upon as it was seen as promoting LAZINESS and GREED . But today the same POOL that was a past time ...

Loftus-Cheek Voted By Chelsea Fans To Start For Chelsea Against Man City

Chelsea will attempt to bounce back from Wednesday’s 2-1 defeat at Wolverhampton Wanderers when they host Manchester City on Saturday afternoon. The Blues are currently fourth in the Premier League table, a huge 10 points off City despite only suffering two league defeats this term. It will certainly be interesting to see Maurizio Sarri’s starting XI, with a number of players just struggling for form at the moment. Ruben Loftus-Cheek has scored in his last two Premier League appearances for Chelsea, including against Wolves last time out. And the Chelsea fans were asked in a recent poll whether they wanted the England international to start against City, who need to keep winning due to the form of Liverpool. A huge 89% said that they wanted the 22-year-old – valued at £16.2m by Transfermarkt – to be included in the starting XI, and it remains to be seen whether Sarri takes their advice for the key match.
