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.

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.

I have nothing to say - Mourinho Muted on Manchester United exit

Jose Mourinho had few words for reporters the day after his Manchester United sacking. The 55-year-old was dismissed at Old Trafford on Tuesday after two-and-a-half-years at the club, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer appointed on an interim basis 24 hours later. And while much of the football world has been discussing United's decision and what the future might hold for Mourinho, the departed manager was not entertaining questions as he appeared publicly for the first time since the news broke. Trailed by members of the media as he left his house in London, Mourinho responded to queries by saying: "Let me walk. I have nothing to say." With United sixth in the table at the end of Mourinho's tenure, Solskjaer's reign will begin with a trip to former club Cardiff City on Saturday.

U.S Prosecutors Demand Jail Time For Trump's Lawyer And Former Campaign Manager

U.S. prosecutors said on Friday President Donald Trump directed his personal lawyer to make illegal hush payments to two women ahead of the 2016 election, and also detailed a previously unknown attempt by a Russian to help the Trump campaign. In court filings, federal prosecutors in New York and those working for Special Counsel Robert Mueller made the case for why Trump’s former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, and his former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, deserved prison time. The documents turned up the heat on Trump by confirming prosecutors’ belief of his involvement in a campaign finance violation, while adding to a growing list of contacts between campaign aides and Russians in 2015 and 2016, legal experts said. “In total, the prosecutors seem to be saying the president was more aware than he has claimed to be,” former federal prosecutor Michael Zeldin said. Prosecutors in both of the Cohen cases were required to submit separate memos on Friday on ...

Kissing On The Altar During Weddings Is An Unscriptural, Unholy Conduct- Bishop Insists

The Bishop of Niger Delta West Diocese, Rt Rev. (Dr) Emmanuel Oko-Jaja, has declared that the act of kissing ones bride at the altar during wedding is a sin. According to him, allowing couples to go through the process in church during their wedding service is unscriptural and therefore be discouraged. Oko-Jaja said that unwholesome practices taking place in churches during matrimonial services promotes immorality and corrupt the mind of especially teenagers that are in church to witness the practice. The cleric said this while delivering a sermon during the child presentation and Thanksgiving Service at St Mark’s Anglican Church, Biogbolo in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State on Sunday. He said that the act of allowing groom to kiss the bride in the full glare of both the young and old persons emanated from the teachings of false prophets. He called on all true believers to jealously guard against the antics of fake gospel preachers. “The practice where couples are allowed to k...
