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.

10 Things Men Like in Women More Than Good Looks

While great relationships start with mutual attraction, in the long run the relationship is destined to fail if the couple lack compatibility. Curious to know what men truly look for when they want to enter a committed relationship? Here is a list of traits that are far more important than beauty. 1. A Sense of Adventure Men absolutely adore women who live life to the fullest. This includes a willingness to try new things and even take risks. Whether it’s going kayaking, hiking a mountain or skydiving, an adventurous woman sure beats a girlfriend who just sits around on the sofa knitting sweaters, no matter how attractive she might be. 2. A Compromiser Having disagreements is a perfectly normal part of a relationship. However, stubbornness and a “my way or the highway” only leads to misery. This is why men appreciate women who are able to negotiate and find a solution that satisfies both partners. This could be true for hobbies (i.e, the guy ta...

2019 ELECTION: Oshiomhole Reveals How APC Will Win Election in Imo, Ogun Without Amosun, Okorocha

Amosun; Oshiomhole; Okorocha The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Adams Oshiomhole, said the success of the ruling party in the forthcoming governorship elections in Imo and Ogun States is not tied to the governors of the state, Ibikunle Amosun and Rochas Okorocha. The party chair who denounced Amosun and Okorocha for their anti-party activities said they are poor students of their own history adding that they both lost elections before winning on the platform of the APC. “Those who think our political future is tied to them; they are poor students of their own political history. Some of these people who talk as if they are invincible, they have forgotten that they have run elections in the past and lost until they abandoned their parties and joined us. So if they return back, history will repeat itself, said Oshiomhole.” Oshiomhole spoke after receiving the APC women leaders from Edo State and Abuja, who paid him a solidarity visit in his office in A...
