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.

Maurizio Sarri Says Chelsea Must Respect Hazard Decision If Forward Decides To Leave

Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri said he has to "respect Eden Hazard's decision" if the forward decides to leave Stamford Bridge this summer. Reports on Monday suggested Real Madrid are keen to secure a £100m deal for the 28-year-old Belgium international. Hazard later scored twice, including one of the goals of the Premier League season, in a 2-0 win over West Ham. "If Eden wants another experience it's very difficult to keep him," Sarri told Sky Sports. "Eden played a wonderful match. When he is able to play like this we are lucky because it is easy to win. "£100m is too cheap in this market - we have seen in the last windows every price. "The club agrees with me [about wanting to keep Hazard]. "We are trying to improve. We are trying to become one of the best teams in England and, as a consequence, in Europe - but I think I have to respect his decision." Hazard's contract ends in summer 2020 and he was asked post-match...

Henry remembers being stunned by Messi's wonder strike

The French forward remembers his spell with Barcelona. He was utterly amazed by Messi's super-strike vs Malaga in 2008. He believes it was the best goal by the Argentine. “The best goal I’ve seen him score was against Malaga at home because that defied logic what he did,” Henry said. “Diagonal ball, he controls it on his chest, runs full speed. The first player goes, the second player is just behind. He takes another step, that player can clear the ball." “If he’s got the ball on his left foot here, how do you go back with that same leg and touch the ball in the air, in between the two to make sure that guy doesn’t touch it - and then almost fail but smash it into the top corner. That's not normal."

10 Celebrities So Beautiful Every Girl Wants To Be Them

People have been idolizing those who’ve reached success since the dawn of time. We put those who are stronger, smarter, faster than us on the pedestal and treat them as superhumans. We look up to them and hope that one day we might be more like them. Ultimately it’s a good thing, it propels us forward, it makes us strive for bigger goals, sets high standards, and makes us work harder and become a better version of ourselves. However, lately there’s a trend of idolizing people for their beauty. And while that in it itself is nothing new, it’s weird that some people focus solely on certain standards of beauty, and not aspects of character or personal achievements. So while we present you a list of 10 celebrities so beautiful every girl wants to be them, we urge you to think of people complexly and not just see them as a pretty face or a fit body. 1. Alexis Ren Alexis Ren, full name Alexis René Glabach, is a famous Instagram model and social m...

derby day opening Tottenham's new stadium: 'Arsenal in March likely to be first match'

Tottenham supporters may have to wait until March for their new stadium to open. The north London club were due to move into the redeveloped White Hart Lane in September but have been hit by a series of problems. Spurs confirmed last month that their remaining games in 2018 will be played at Wembley, which has been their temporary base since the beginning of last season. They have an agreement in place to stay at the national stadium for the rest of the 2018/19 campaign, but remain insistent it will be ready at some stage this term. And, according to The Times , contractors on the project are working towards two different opening dates – the clash with Manchester United on January 13 and the derby with north London rivals Arsenal on March 2. The report claims that the building companies involved believe the match against Arsenal is the most likely to be the first at the new stadium. Spurs recently announced that their next six home matches will be played at Wembley, up to ...
